    However, the changes are turning out to be positive for England as the newly appointed red ball captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum are both doing quite well for the team. As the former white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan bid adieu from international cricket, England saw another new change in the team. Jos Buttler, whom we saw captaining the side in Morgan's absence, is now England's full-time captain, as announced by the England Cricket Board. England's white-ball team seems much more robust with the newly appointed captain. 

    Another aggressive mindset player at the helm of English cricket 

    After Joe Root stepped down from the role of the skipper of the test team, Ben Stokes was made the new red-ball captain, and since then, the team's performance and attitude have improved significantly. The team emerged victorious in the last series against New Zealand. Ben Stokes' approach to the game as captain was hugely praised, and England's future under his captaincy can be predicted from this. The aggressiveness with which the team played under the new captain is worth an appreciation. 

    We might expect to witness the same level of aggressiveness under Jos Buttler in white-ball cricket. The wicketkeeper-batsman is known for his aggressive and fearless intent on the field. In recent times, Jos Buttler has been in stunning form, which will help him start well with his captaincy career. Buttler's attitude on the field will help the team boost their morale, consequently positively affecting the overall performance. He will now play two crucial roles as a prime batsman and the skipper, testing his abilities as a good cricketer. 

    A few months ago, England's cricket saw a downfall in all three formats due to an imbalance in the team and management. Things were not going well for the team, which was challenging. But the recent changes have helped the team regain their lost rhythm. With the two new leaders, English cricket now seems more ferocious and fortified in all three formats, which will benefit them significantly. We can surely see the team emerging victorious in future events under these two.

    Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler: IPL connection

    Although the earlier captain Eoin Morgan went through a rough phase, leaving the captaincy, his contributions to England cricket are invaluable. However, the IPL connection between the former skipper and the newly appointed Jos Buttler is noteworthy. When Kolkata Knight Riders went through a challenging phase in the IPL, Eoin Morgan was named the franchise's captain. Morgan, with his experience and skills, led the team quite impressively. The Englishman brilliantly took his team forward with his performance, helping them regain their strength.

    Similarly, Jos Buttler drove his team impressively in this league season as the vital opener. Jos Buttler contributed the most to his team Rajasthan Royals, taking them to the finals with his sensational batting performance. The two players hold excellent leadership skills, and it is seen from their IPL performance for their respective teams. Looking at Buttler's skills, it is pretty certain that Buttler has the potential to become a suitable successor for Morgan.

    Revival of English cricket with a fortune of key players

    England's T20 team had been performing below par in earlier periods. However, the team is reviving quite well with match-winning players in good form and the newly appointed captain. Let it be Liam Livingstone, who showcased his blitz in the IPL or Jonny Bairstow, who has finally found his flow in T20s after a long setback; the new players will surely bring revolution in T20 cricket for England. Also, Dawid Malan will be an essential asset for Buttler in his squad. These players will be Buttler's key and assist him in facilitating England's T20 cricket. 

    The recent changes are bringing a great revolution in England's cricket, especially T20, and these are positive signs for the team before the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. Buttler's first assignment as the English captain will be against India in the upcoming three-match T20 series following the ODI series. The two captains are believed to raise the team's standards by becoming perfect leaders. It will be interesting to see how these two new leaders do for England and whether Buttler's appointment turns out to be a massive success for England.
