England is the nation that had been struggling to make a mark in World Cup’s 2015 edition was a hard one as the team had to endure some tough times. After that event, Eoin Morgan and the management promised the fans that they would be back in good form. They did that and the pinnacle was reached when the team won the World Cup in 2019. It has been an inspiring journey so far and Eoin Morgan deserves the praise right now.
A difficult job for his successor
Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali are two contenders to take over from Morgan. Whoever takes over from Morgan will be under immense pressure. Especially with the kind of success that Morgan has seen, it will be hard for others to match success. It needs to be seen how the new captain would perform for the team. The team’s next big assignment will be the T20 World Cup in 2022 and the ODI World Cup in 2023.
