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.”

Sri Lankans should be careful, after Root and Atkinson, now Ollie Pope is fully prepared to make a mark with his bat in the Oval Test

The final match of the three-match Test series between England and Sri Lanka is starting from September 6 at the Kennington Oval. Ollie Pope (Photo Source: X/Twitter) England defeated Sri Lanka by 190 runs in the second Test match played at Lord’s Stadium in London and took a 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series. So far, the performance of all the England players has been very good in this series. However, England’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope has so far failed to make a mark in this series. Let us tell you, Ollie Pope has scored 6 runs, 6 runs, 1 run and 17 runs in the Test series being played against Sri Lanka so far. Ollie Pope’s captaincy may have been excellent in this Test series, but the pressure of it has been seen on him in batting. However, Ollie Pope believes that he will definitely look to score big in the third Test between these two teams starting on September 6. Ollie Pope said, ‘I would not like to hide anything about the fact that both my matches with the bat have been very bad. However, cricket is like this. Sometimes the form is in your favor and sometimes you are going through a bad time. But good players are those who forget it and make a fresh start from the next week. I hope that I will be able to score big in the upcoming match. I have learned a lot in the last two matches and I will try to improve my game even more. Especially at the beginning of my innings. Whatever opportunities I get, I will use them in a great way. Ben Stokes told me a lot about criticism before the series: Ollie Pope Pope further said, ‘I am not at all surprised that people are criticizing me. Ben Stokes told me this before the series that you are the captain and you will have to face a lot of criticism. There are many voices that you hear and people say a lot of wrong things about you. However, I do not care about all these things at all. For me, I would like to spend as much time as possible with people who believe in me and recognise my ability. When I went to the West Indies and scored runs in that series, people were still saying things about me. I really don’t care about anyone.’ The final match of the three-match Test series between England and Sri Lanka is starting from September 6 at the Kennington Oval.

ENG vs SL: ‘Questionable decision on a turning pitch’: Eoin Morgan on decision to leave Ollie Pope out due to bad light

Due to poor light, some overs of the third day of the ongoing second Test between England and Sri Lanka could not be played. Ollie Pope (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second Test match between England and Sri Lanka (ENG vs SL) is going on at Lord’s. The third day of the game ended yesterday on 31 August. On the third day, England set a strong target of 483 runs for Sri Lanka to win, while by the end of the day’s play, England had taken the wickets of Pathum Nissanka and Nishan Madhushka in Sri Lanka’s second innings. However, England could have bowled a few more overs in the match, but the game could not proceed due to poor light. But at this time captain Ollie Pope did not consider it necessary to put the fast bowlers on bowling again and he went to the dressing room with the team. So, on the third day of the match, due to the bounce and turn of the pitch, he could have got some overs bowled by spin bowlers, but he did not do so. On the other hand, now a big statement of former captain Eoin Morgan has come out on this decision of Ollie Pope. Morgan says that this decision of Pope on the turning pitch is suspicious. Eoin Morgan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the third day of the second Test between England and Sri Lanka, Eoin Morgan said in a discussion with Sky Sports – I think this is a questionable decision. The reason behind this is the entire last hour of the game, the reason is darkness. There is a reason why fast bowlers cannot bowl. This is dangerous for all the people involved in playing the match. I completely understand the concern about the condition of the ball, but you are talking about England’s premium fingerspinner in Shoaib Bashir who needs to bowl. The ball is moving and bouncing, I question the decision, you have runs to play. Everything is in your favour, but still you are sitting in the dressing room.
