Brook was expected to be the favorite after Buttler resigned from the captaincy.
After the shameful Champions Trophy 2025 campaign in England, where they failed to win any of its three games in the group stage, Jos Buttler decided to resign from the Captaincy of the White Ball. Vicecapitán Harry Brook was expected to be the favorite for paper, but now there has been a new development.
The retired captain of Odi and the current Test Captain of England, Ben Stokes, has become a probable option to take care of the reins of an English side with difficulties.
Echoing his thoughts on the matter, the managing director of Cricket of England and Wales (ECB), Rob Key, also admitted “would be stupid” not to consider Stokes.
Key is also optimistic about the possibility of joining Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes in the white ball format, since the first has already installed as a cross -format coach since the beginning of this year.

Physical aptitude will be a great concern for Ben Stokes if it is called Captain
The 33 -year -old has demonstrated a natural ability to lead and inspire since he assumed the role of the red ball captain, happening to Joe Root. However, your age and ongoing injury challenges will definitely be a great concern if you are called a white ball pattern.
Stokes is currently recovering from his second important injury in the hamstrings in the last nine months. He suffered a recurrence of a left breakage of the hamstrings during the third defeat in the test against New Zealand in December and subsequently underwent surgery.
Ensure that Stokes remains in shape and ready to perform, especially taking into account his history of physical struggles, will be a priority for England management.
In addition, almost 18 months have passed since Stokes played for the last time at the white ball cryket. The All -terrain of Star has not played a T20L since the final of the November 2022 triumphant World Cup and has not appeared in a 50 -year game since the 2023 Odi World Cup in India.
However, Ben Stokes is looking in a good way in his recovery and is realizing the injury by joining a training field of the Lions of England in Abu Dhabi. The next international allocation of England will be a unique evidence against Zimbabwe since May 22 at home, which will be followed by a series of white balls in formats against Western Indies.
