Who is in the running to be England’s new white-ball captain?

England are on the hunt for a new white-ball captain following Jos Buttler’s resignation a fortnight ago and director of men’s cricket Rob Key is considering all options.

Here, the PA news agency looks at who is in the frame.

Harry Brook

Ben Stokes

Stokes excelled beyond all expectations leading the Test side and could have a similarly transformative impact if he takes the ODI reins, leaving Brook free for the T20 mantle. But with England’s crucial Test engagements coming up, can they afford to roll the dice with his fitness following serious knee and hamstring injuries in the last couple of years? Key believes it would be “stupid” not to consider the all-rounder, whose last outing for England in coloured clothing was at the 2023 World Cup.

Phil Salt

Liam Livingstone

Ben Duckett

One of the few batters to emerge from England’s dismal run since the turn of the year in credit, cementing himself as their opener across all three formats. More of an unknown quantity as captain and, as with Brook, England should be cautious about adding to the left-hander’s responsibilities in a busy year.
