eh maybe if they had a ridiculously good keeper like saha or prasanna jayawardene in domestic cricket, they could make such a person captain

preferably after checking his history for any dick pics floating around
Foakes? Or is that the joke etc…

I literally have seen someone suggest Foakes as captain, but I can't remember where it was or if it was serious...
I threw it in a few days ago as a left-field possibility on the bases that (1) he's unquestionably worth his place as a keeper (2) he won't score many fewer runs than Buttler and (3) he has captaincy experience at Surrey whilst Burns has been playing for England. I wasn't strongly arguing his case, but he's a possibility if Root decides that he's had enough.

He's realistically the only option anyways. Nobody else has their spot nailed down other than Stokes.
He's not. Seriously he's a terrible captain. For the short term, Stokes should be captain imo. And for the long-term, just identify the best captain in county cricket and get them into the XI. Root would be an adequate vice captain

My main worry about Stokes is whether we should be handing the England captaincy to a guy who's just missed a couple of series due to mental health issues.

silverwood may also be selecting the team based on their skills with powerpoint slides...
