While Harry Brook is young and regarded as the future of English cricket, Ben Stokes has the experience on his side but has been injury-prone. Morgan spoke about the qualities that both players bring to the team and explained their respective roles.
During a conversation on Sky Sports, Eoin Morgan was asked to pick his choice for England's new white-ball captain. The former England skipper feels that Harry Brook has the potential and the selectors can invest in his leadership skills.
"If you highlight something that's in three-four years, I think somebody like Harry Brook would do a magnificent job. He had the captaincy at the end of the summer last year against a really strong Australian side and I thought that he was impressive," Morgan noted.

Eoin Morgan labels Ben Stokes as a "strong leader"
Eoin Morgan also didn't rule out the possibility of bringing in Ben Stokes as the new white-ball skipper. He feels that Stokes can be a strong leader but the call needs to be taken by considering his injury-prone body in mind.
"I think a bit of left-field call would be to ask Ben Stokes to consider the role, not necessarily on a full-time basis but if you were to take the role open say we actually think that we can win everything or compete in everything going forward, I think you need a strong leader in that role," said Morgan.
England's downfall in white-ball cricket
England's recent performances in white-ball cricket have been below par. The team crashed out of the group stage of the Champions Trophy 2025 after losing to Afghanistan, England, and South Africa.
Previously, England were also unable to qualify for the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup 2023 and lost the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. Their constant failure has raised questions over their approach in the white-ball formats.
