Michael Vaughan Wants Jos Buttler To Replace Eoin Morgan as England’s T20I Captain

Jos Buttler has found Michael Vaughan’s backing to succeed Eoin Morgan as England’s captain in limited-overs cricket. While Buttler continues to be one of the finest batters of current times in white-ball cricket, his numbers in Test cricket aren’t up to the mark including in the ongoing Ashes 2021-22 in Australia.

In his column, in The Telegraph, Vaughan wrote that Buttler has failed to find the right tempo required to succeed in the red-ball cricket. Even in the ongoing Ashes 2021 series, Buttler has just managed to score only 107 runs across seven innings.

He has averaged a dismal 16, with his best score as 39. The 31-year-old has failed to score runs down the order and has also not been at his best behind the stumps either.

Vaughan though thinks he should replace Morgan as England’s white-ball captain. The 47-year-old wrote that ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia in November, he personally believes Buttler is very close to inheriting the white-ball captaincy.
