London: Firecracker Jos Buttler has been chosen as the captain of England’s ODI and T20 teams. Butler was given the captaincy of England’s fixed-over team by the England and Wales Cricket Board following the retirement of Eoin Morgan. The recommendation of England Cricket Team Managing Director Rob Key was accepted by ECB Interim Chairman Martin Darlow and CEO Claire Corner. Buttler said he feels honored to take over the captaincy from Morgan and is ready to take on the challenges. In the last IPL, Butler, who smashed Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals, has a lot of fans in India as well. Malayali fans’ favorite Josethan’s debut as England’s captain is the Twenty20 series against India. Twenty20 series starts on 7th.
Morgan, who scored the most runs and played matches for England in ODIs and Twenty20s, retired on the last 28.
