After Alastair Cook was removed from the ODI captaincy on 19 December 2014, Morgan was named as the England captain for the 2015 Cricket World Cup having already captained England in ODIs and T20Is as a stand-in. He is the only England captain to have scored more than 4 ODI centuries. On 19 June 2018 during the third match of the home ODI series against Australia, Eoin Morgan surpassed the national record of Ian Bell for becoming the all-time leading run scorer for England in One Day International matches where coincidentally England posted the highest ever ODI total of 481/6. In the same match during the course of the world record team total, he broke another national record held by Jos Buttler for scoring the fastest ever fifty by a Englishman in ODIs. (21 balls)
