Last Time I Captained A White Ball Side Was In An IPL Warm Up Game: Ben Stokes
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has said that filling Eoin Morgan's shoes for the ODI series against Pakistan will be "unbelievably big to fill". Stokes was announced as the captain for the three ODIs against Pakistan after the first-choice squad reported seven Covid-19 cases and is now in self-isolation.
"With both Morgs (Morgan) and Jos (Buttler) unavailable, not to mention the likes of Moeen (Ali) and Rooty (Joe Root) and the rest of our first-choice squad, I knew I had to step up, and just like it was last year with the Test team, it will be a huge honour to lead this side. The last time I captained a white-ball side was in an IPL warm-up game. So, this will be new for me too, but my experience as a player should get me through, even if Morgs' shoes are unbelievably big to fill," Stokes said in his column for The Mirror.
