Morgan to replace McCullum as Middlesex skipper

As England's white ball captain in both fifty over and twenty over formats, Morgan has a wealth of captaincy experience, having successfully led his country to numerous series wins across both formats of the game.

Morgan previously led the England team in the ICC Champions trophy where the hosts put up a great show in the group stages staying undefeated before being knocked out by the eventual champions Pakistan in the semi-final.

Earlier it was Dawid Malan who was scheduled to take over the captaincy for the latter stages of the campaign however with the 29 year old being called on for the England Test team, Morgan will lead the side until Dawid is next available off his international commitments.

England’s white ball skipper Eoin Morgan took over the captaincy of Middlesex Cricket Club in the ongoing NatWest T20 blast from former Kiwi skipper Brendon McCullum.

McCullum played his last game of the season for Middlesex last Friday night in Hove, before departing to the Caribbean Premier League.
