Sam Billings had no contact with the white ball captain in England
Sam Billings says that there was no contact from England for the vacant captain for the white ball.
The director of England of the male cricket Rob Key and the coach Brendon McCullum have not excluded the possibility that the next captain comes from the outside of the current team, with the first who says “nothing is out of the table”.
Billings, 33, has not played for England since 2022, but has developed the reputation of smart skipper with Kent and has a significant franchising experience.
A BBC sports survey who should be the new white ball captain in England had invoicing as a favorite man to take the job on Ben Stokes and Harry Brook.
Billings recognized last month “Skip the opportunity” For the captain of England, but when he has been asked if he since then Key or McCullum had been in contact, he said “no”.
“I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it. I haven’t played in England for more than two years,” said Billings, who spoke in an event in England and Wales to launch the home season.
“I played well, playing a good cricket and I’m in a really fun phase of my career.”
Billings played three tests, 28 international and 37 T20 internationals for England, but none since November 2022.
It has been propagated by some as a potential replacement of Joe Root as a test captain before the same year, before Stokes was assigned the work.
Stokes and the deputy captain of Ball Ball Brook would seem the most likely candidates to happen to Jos Buttler, who resigned after England lost every game at the Champions trophy.
Billings suggested that the 26 -year -old pattenshire pastella has strong credentials to hire work.
“People are thus involved in the prejudice of Reviewy and Harry Brook is still a very young player and will be a superstar of the game for the next 10 years,” Billings added.
“But I was very impressed by his captain last year (against Australia). He managed the game really well and is tactically cunning enough.
“From a development point of view I think it will grow in an excellent captain. It probably reduces to the workload for England.”
