Current betting on the next England Test Captain is -

Stokes 4/6
Broad 7/1
Billings, YJB, Crawley 9/1
Abell, Foakes 16/1
Burns, Moeen, Anderson 25/1
Pope, Vince 28/1
Sibley 33/1
Morgan 200/1

The fact half those names are on there shows how desperate the situation is! 😆

I'd pick Vince based on gut feeling.

Vince at 28/1? Robert Key used to coach Crawley so could be him. Or Burns lol

Remember that this is England. Surely it will be Stokes?

Got to be Stokes, him and Root are the only two nailed on to play every game. I also think he's the type of person who will really step up into the role.

In all seriousness,I think it would be a really good statement with regard mental health and it’s impact on one’s career.
Just because he has suffered from poor mental health recently should not stop him from being England captain. That is discrimination.

Just goes to show what people can achieve given the right help and support.

There isn't anyone we could discriminate against him in favour of!

Thoughts? I do wonder who else was interviewed as part of this thorough recruitment process

It does seem to me that the senior cricketing posts with the ECB will become more difficult to fill.  You can have an easier life in journalism or a more lucrative and less time demanding one in T20 leagues

I think Key is a pretty reasonable appointment personally.

I agree with this.  I like Rob Key, but not many MD's have no qualifications or experience.  Im not sure the competition was strong enough and he may the only option, rather than the best option.
