Eoin Morgan not only retained the team’s number 5 but also preferred him over Kohli and made him captain. It was under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan that England won the 2019 World Cup and that is why they are preferred for captaincy.

Akash Chopra has hired Ben Stokes and Shakib Al Hasan as all-rounders. Both these players are brilliant batsmen, who can also bowl 10 overs. However, Akash Chopra has not retained Jaspreet Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Kagiso Rabara. In the bowling department, he has placed Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, and Lockie Ferguson.
