Michael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England

Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”

What is the big difference between the captaincy of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh made shocking revelations

According to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of both. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are known as great captains in the history of Indian cricket. Both have the tag of World Cup winning captain in front of their names. Harbhajan Singh has the experience of playing under the leadership of both MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, according to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of the two. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. What did Harbhajan Singh say about MS Dhoni’s captaincy? Harbhajan Singh said, “Dhoni and Rohit are both different types of leaders. MS Dhoni will never go to a fielder and ask, ‘Which fielding do you want?’ He gives you a chance to learn from mistakes.” Bhajji explained by telling an anecdote “I remember one match, in which I was fielding at short fine leg and MS Dhoni was keeping. Shardul Thakur was bowling and on the first ball Kane Williamson hit him for a boundary. The next ball was also of the same length and Williamson played the same shot. I went to MS and asked him to tell Shardul to bowl a different length. MS told me, ‘Paaji if I tell him right now, he will never learn. Let him learn on his own.’ His thinking was that when Shardul gets hit for boundaries, he will learn quickly. This was the MS Dhoni way.” What did Harbhajan Singh say about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy? Talking about Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh said- “Rohit is very different. He will talk to every player. He is the kind of player who will put his hand on your shoulder and tell you what he wants from you. He will make you believe that yes, you can do it.” Captaincy in Test cricket has made Rohit Sharma an even better captain: Harbhajan Singh He said, “The biggest change in Rohit came when he started captaining in Test cricket. As a Test captain, you learn a lot. There are many moments in T20 that you ignore, but you cannot do that in Test cricket. In Test cricket, the captain runs everything. His strategy and its implementation are very important to win Test matches, this is what makes you a great leader. Steve Waugh’s name immediately comes to my mind, because he was very good at captaincy. If you are performing well as a captain in Test cricket, then it becomes easier to captain in T20 and ODIs.”

But I will not be with my team all the time and that is why I think that leaving the captaincy of one format will also give time to other captains.’ New Zealand women’s team head coach Ben Sawyer said, ‘Sophie is one of the aggressive captains and we feel very happy that her captaincy gives a lot of strength to the team inside and outside the field. She is one of the experienced players of New Zealand. She has a lot of knowledge of the game and the young players have also learned a lot from her.

“He should not run after captaincy…”, former Pakistani cricketer slammed Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is a top-class bowler and he should focus only on that – Basit Ali Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: Getty Images) Jasprit Bumrah is an important player in the Indian fast bowling attack in all three formats, the bowler has many times taken the team out of difficult situations and led them to victory. Bumrah recently expressed his desire to become the captain of Team India, he says that fast bowlers like Kapil Dev and Imran Khan have performed well as captains and have also won the World Cup for their respective teams. Former Pakistan player Basit Ali has expressed his displeasure over Jasprit Bumrah’s statement. Basit Ali says that the veterans first established themselves as all-rounders and then became captains. Therefore, Bumrah should not have any interest in becoming a captain. Jasprit Bumrah should focus on bowling only- Basit Ali Former Pakistani player Basit Ali while talking on his YouTube channel said, Regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s statement, it is exactly like Babar Azam likes captaincy. In my opinion, he should not run after captaincy. He is a top-class bowler and he should focus on that only. He gave the example of Kapil Dev and Imran Khan’s captaincy. Although they became all-rounders, that is why they succeeded as captains. They were not appointed captains when they came to their teams as a bowler. This is the difference between a bowler and an all-rounder. Making a big prediction, Basit Ali further said that Bumrah can become the captain next year. There are very few fast bowlers who are good captains or coaches. My best wishes to Bumrah. Maybe he will become the captain after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Jasprit Bumrah captained Team India in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the Edgbaston Test against England in 2022. At the same time, he also led the team in the T20 series of the Ireland tour in 2023.

“Is he not even a candidate for Test captaincy?”- Former cricketer raises questions on Pant not getting the captaincy in Duleep Trophy

Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced four teams for the Duleep Trophy 2024 on Wednesday, August 14. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, all senior cricketers including Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav will take part in the tournament. However, none of these senior cricketers have been named as captains. Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer have been handed the captaincy for the Duleep Trophy 2024. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra was particularly surprised by Pant not being named captain of any team. Pant will play under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran in this tournament, which is fine according to Chopra, but given Pant’s impact in red-ball cricket, he expects the 26-year-old to be in the race to become India’s captain in the coming days. Aakash Chopra made a big statement on Rishabh Pant becoming the captain In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Rishabh Pant is not the captain. He has been selected in Abhimanyu Easwaran’s team. He is playing under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran, which is absolutely fine. However, is Rishabh Pant not a candidate for Test captaincy as well? I am a little surprised.” The former cricketer further said, “I personally do not agree with this because you have seen the best form of Rishabh Pant as a Test cricketer. He is the only wicketkeeper in the history of Indian cricket to have scored centuries in South Africa, England and Australia in Tests. He said, “Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and even Abhimanyu Easwaran are captains, but Pant is not the captain and in my opinion this is a big deal.” Let us tell you that Pant will play his first red-ball match after suffering multiple injuries following a car accident in December 2022. He is in the scheme of things for the upcoming Bangladesh Tests and the Duleep Trophy will be the perfect opportunity for him to prove his potential.

Shaheen further said, ‘I have never played cricket for captaincy in my career, I honestly just want to play for Pakistan, which I will do.’ Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand 1-4.

Whenever you hit a boundary, he comes and says it was a good ball. He keeps giving you inputs. As a player, I have a good relationship with him.” Axar recalled the five-match T20 series against Australia in India last year, which India won 4-1. He observed Yadav’s consistent leadership style. “As a captain, I also played with him in the last five matches (against Australia) and when I was playing today, I didn’t feel much change,” he said.
