2019 Cricket World Cup will always have a special place in the hearts of the cricket fans. For the first time in a long time, the tournament happened with only 10 teams. All teams got to play against each other once. Rain interrupted many matches, but in the end, it was the England team which won the 2019 Cricket World Cup trophy.
Eoin Morgan was the captain of the English squad in that mega event. Earlier this year, Morgan announced his retirement from all formats of cricket. Some other captains from 2019 Cricket World Cup like Gulbadin Naib (Afghanistan), Sarfaraz Ahmed (Pakistan) and Faf du Plessis (South Africa) are no longer a part of their squads.
In this listicle now, we will look at the only two captains from the 2019 edition of the mega event who are still captains in the ODI format.
1. 2019 Cricket World Cup Finalist captain Kane Williamson
New Zealand cricket team missed out on an opportunity to become world champions by the barest of the margins in 2019. They made it to the summit clash of the tournament, where the England cricket team defeated them on the basis of a boundary count.
The boundary count rule was soon abolished after a massive fan outrage. Nevertheless, New Zealand remain as runners-up. Kane Williamson will hope to win the next World Cup in 2023.
2. Aaron Finch
Australian captain Aaron Finch is leading the team in the ongoing series against the New Zealand cricket team. However, he has made it clear that he will retire from ODIs after the series.
“It has been a fantastic ride with some incredible memories,” Finch said. “I have been extremely fortunate to be a part of some brilliant one-day sides. Equally, I have been blessed by all those I have played with and the many people behind the scenes.
