England white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan has ruled himself out of becoming captain of the Test team; instead, he wants Ben Stokes to lead the side in red-ball cricket. “Absolutely not, no. I’m very happy with the role that I play within the white-ball team and English cricket at the moment. It has been the part of my career that I’m most proud of,” “My career is firmly focused on World Cups, and hopefully sustaining what we’ve built over the last six years is probably going to be the most important part of what I leave behind eventually. “I haven’t played red-ball cricket for a long time. I wouldn’t have any interest in the job. I would be no good at it.”
