The 2018 edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> was the year of Indian skippers. Apart from the lone figure of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rashid-khan-is-one-of-the-top-spinners-in-the-game-kane-williamson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kane Williamson</a> leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the men leading each of the seven other teams were from the very country that conceived the cricketing extravaganza. The question is: will these captains continue into the 2019 edition of the tournament?

Considering the fact the 2019 World Cup will be knocking on the doors by the time we get to witness the next season of the IPL, several high-profile players, including regular captains, may be rested, in order to protect them from any injuries ahead of the all-important world tournament. In such a situation, the need for alternatives to captain the IPL franchises is bound to arise. Let&#8217;s take a look at 3 probable candidates for captaincy in IPL 2019 who went unsold this time around.

31-year-old Eoin Morgan is reputed for being a prolific English cricketer and had played for the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) back in 2017. Since he was able to score only 65 runs in the 4 games he played, Morgan went unsold in the 2018 IPL auction. However, the man is an able captain, capable of power-hitting and can very well be expected to take on the leadership role come the 2019 season of the league.

Morgan, on his part, has had a healthy run in 2018. He captained England in the Trans-Tasman T20 Trophy and lead from the front as he remained unbeaten on 80 runs off 75 balls to help his team to a 2-run victory over the Kiwis. Although England was unable to make it to the finals of the tri-series, Morgan took to captaincy like a fish to water. He&#8217;s also lead the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in three games earlier this year.

West Indies all-rounder Darren Sammy is not a newbie when it comes to the IPL. He was a regular in the tournament between 2013-15 and had been a part of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). He&#8217;s proven himself as a handy all-rounder time and again, be it for his national side or for his T20 league sides. In particular, Sammy&#8217;s successful captaincy in the PSL 2018 would be reason enough for IPL franchises to consider him as a potential option for captaining the side.

Not only did he serve as a responsible skipper for the Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL and led them to the title earlier this year, but also maintained a strike rate of 182.75 with the bat and bowled whenever his team was in a crunch spot. On one instance, in spite of having sustained an injury while bowling, he showed great character and led Peshawar to a thrilling victory against Quetta Gladiators with his batting heroics. Although he was ignored in this year&#8217;s IPL auction, Sammy certainly has good chances of making his way back into the league in a big way in 2019.

Travis Head may be just 24 years old but he recently led Adelaide Strikers to the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/bbl-big-bash-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Big Bash League(BBL)</a> trophy in the 2017-18 season of the popular tournament. His performance in the league was indicative of how captaincy is something that Head enjoys and that it makes the youngster flourish with the bat. At a base price of INR 1.5 crores, the Australian keeper-batsman went unsold in IPL 2018 auctions.

Head ha been impressive in the T20 format, both for his country as well as in standalone tournaments. In particular, he scored 374 runs for the Adelaide Strikers franchise in BBL 2018 and emerged as the fourth highest run-getter of the season. Being a wicketkeeper as well as an explosive T20 batsman, Head can turn out to be the perfect candidate to lead a team in the next season of the IPL.
