Morgan rules himself out of Test captaincy

Eoin Morgan

England's 2019 World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan on Friday has ruled himself out from the race of becoming the next men's Test captain and has instead backed all-rounder Ben Stokes to take up the job after Joe Root's resignation earlier in April.

"Absolutely not, no. I'm very happy with the role that I play within the white-ball team and English cricket at the moment," Morgan told Sky Sports.
