This will be a great thing for them in the long run. Pope’s winning percentage is even better than mine. They have won three out of four tests. Very happy that he achieved all this while I was injured. I never had any doubts about Ollie Pope’s batting and he has also won my heart with his captaincy. Ben Stokes praised the English team fiercely Ben Stokes further said, ‘When you are on the field, you get very few opportunities. However, when you are outside the team, you realize that all the players are performing tremendously. I am very happy with my team. He has won many important matches with strong performance.

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.”

Cook further said about winning the Hyderabad Test – There are some great players in the Indian team. But because of his status and IPL money, you see him as a half-god.
