Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has emerged as the heavy favourite to succeed Eoin Morgan as England captain in the white ball format. The current captain is set to announce his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday.
Under Morgan's leadership, England rose to number one in the world rankings in both one-day internationals and T20 formats as well as winning the World Cup in 2019 after a dramatic final at Lord's against New Zealand. It is thought he wanted to stay on and lead England at the T20 World Cup in Australia this year but the 35-year-old has struggled with form and fitness over the last 18 months.
He missed the conclusion of their Netherlands tour with a groin niggle having been dismissed for a duck twice in high-scoring innings, largely thanks to Buttler who is 1/10 with Betway. If he reports are true that he will retire from international cricket and end his seven-year reign as England captain he will no doubt go down as one of England's most successful captains having picked up 7,701 runs from 248 ODIs with 14 centuries. In T20, he made 115 caps with 2,458 runs including 14 fifties.
