According to former England captain Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes’ leadership will significantly impact the upcoming Ashes series. Morgan added that the all-rounder had inherited some of Brendon McCullum’s aggressiveness as a player.
Since taking over for Joe Root in the position, Stokes has significantly improved the Test team’s results. He has made it clear that England will play fearlessly and without any restrictions during the Ashes.

Morgan told Mirror Sport that he has always admired the way Stokes has handled his captaincy, particularly how he has recognized and used the team’s players’ strengths.
A team can benefit greatly from strong leadership and captaincy, and I believe that this Ashes series will be largely determined by Stokes’ leadership. He has always been a leader, and he did a great job as captain.
As I watched, I was impressed with his approach. Brendon McCullum, his coach, taught me a lot. People who have influenced you have an impact on the kind of leader you become. They are attempting to make use of the players’ strengths, which they have identified. And they’ve been successful, he said.
Using New Zealand’s performance against England in the 2015 World Cup as evidence, the 36-year-old has frequently credited McCullum with changing England’s white-ball strategy.

Eoin Morgan once said, “I would have given my left arm to play in the Ashes.”
Eoin Morgan said he thought playing the arch-rivals in limited overs was the closest thing to the Ashes despite only playing 16 Tests in his career and none against Australia.
To play in the Ashes, I would have given my left arm. We had such a strong batting lineup when I went on the 2010–2011 tour that I was only the backup batter. Whenever I had the chance, especially in 50-over cricket matches against the Australians.
I would think, “Well, I’m playing an Ashes match against these guys as close as I can get.” I have to start doing well here if that’s where I want to be,” he said.
