Knight's vice-captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has previously said she would be interested in the job, while off-spinner Charlie Dean admitted she would not turn it down if approached.

Vice-captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has previously stated she would be interested in the role, while off-spinner Charlie Dean said she "wouldn't say no".

Nat Sciver-Brunt seems the most likely successor considering she has been Knight's deputy and stated her desire to fulfil the role during the Ashes, but England imploded under her leadership during the Commonwealth Games when Knight was injured, and the same happened during last year's shambolic T20 World Cup group-stage exit.

Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones have both deputised for Knight when she has been absent because of injury, while off-spinner Charlie Dean has been touted as a potential permanent candidate.

It wasn't until the 1820s and 1830s when men like Denmark Vesey, David Walker, and Nat Turner demonstrated the full power of literacy that things changed.
