Eoin Morgan backs Joe Root and Ben Stokes to make Champions Trophy team

With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 rapidly approaching, the top teams in the world are concentrating on the ODI competition, which will take place in Pakistan in the early months of 2025. There are numerous favourites in this competition; the front-runners are England, Australia, and India.

Prior to the competition, former cricketer Eoin Morgan of England spoke at length on his country’s prospects and possible 2025 Champions Trophy lineup.

Ben Stokes and Joe Root, among others, ought to be included in England’s Champions Trophy side, according to Morgan. Recall that England was eliminated from the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, where Root and Stokes last participated in ODI matches.

“Ben Stokes has previously stated that he has not received a call from Baz indicating whether or not he will play. Naturally, he would love to play if that call were to come. “In my opinion, they should aim to win a significant global competition by assembling the strongest team possible. Stokes and Root, in my opinion, are part of that team,” Morgan stated during the International Masters League’s Mumbai launch.

“For the younger players participating in the forthcoming West Indies series and coming to India in February, there is a clear opportunity.” “And when those big names return, that opportunity could be quickly taken away,” he continued.

I am pleased to support the younger players: Eoin Morgan.

It’s important to note that Ben Stokes was not available for England during their most recent 2-3 series loss against Australia. In order to offer Joe Root a respite between the Test series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, he was also granted a rest from the series.

“I’m glad to support the younger guys right now. They discovered a model in the most recent series against Australia. You have to give Australia credit for how excellent they are right now in every style of the game, Morgan remarked.
