I am not interested in the job: Eoin Morgan rules himself out from Test captaincy #IndiaNEWS #Cricket
London, April 22 | Englands 2019 World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan on Friday has ruled himself out from the race of becoming the next mens Test captain and has instead backed all-rounder Ben Stokes to take up the job after Joe Roots resignation earlier in April.
Whoever becomes Englands Test captain has got the tough job to get the side on track with collective performances in all departments of the game. In its last 17 Tests, England have emerged victorious just once and lost the Ashes 4-0 in Australia followed by 1-0 defeat in West Indies.
Absolutely not, no. Im very happy with the role that I play within the white-ball team and English cricket at the moment. It has been the part of my career that Im most proud of. My career is firmly focused on World Cups, and hopefully sustaining what weve built over the last six years is probably going to be the most important part of what I leave behind eventually. I havent played red-ball cricket for a long time. I wouldnt have any interest in the job. I would be no good at it, Morgan told Sky Sports.
Morgan, who played a Test match in February 2012 against Pakistan at Dubai, has backed Stokes to take the role of captaining England in the longest format of the game.
Obviously Ben is a fantastic player, a brilliant leader, though he doesnt need to have the captains armband on to lead like he does. The experience of the World Cup final here (at Lords) really showed his true colours in the way that he led from start to finish and throughout the whole tournament as well, he said.
Hed certainly be a candidate. I think it would be hard to turn down the captaincy. Its a privileged position to be in. Obviously circumstances have to be right, but most people who want to take red-ball cricket forward would like to take it on.
Morgan revealed that he had a meeting with new ECB managing director of mens cricket, Rob Key and felt that splitting coaching roles on the basis of formats would be the road ahead as England gear up to appoint next coaches for the mens team. Just the demands of the game as a whole now is huge, there is almost no break. Its such a big ask for one man to do the job.
