Somerset-born star, who was full of admiration for his predecessor, took on the role.

Buttler showed his appreciation before today's match between India and England at Lord's.

As a sign of respect, Buttler presented Morgan with two bottles of wine.

He selected bottles of Opus One red wine, from the 2016 vintage.

He would have paid PS440 for just one bottle.

Buttler was elated to have taken over the captaincy.

At the time, he said: "Eoin was an inspiring leader and there are many things I've learned from him.

"He has left English white-ball cricket at a very exciting point and I am inspired for the challenges ahead.

"It's an honor to be the captain of your country. I can't wait for this team to move forward."

After seven-and-a half years, Morgan, 35, resigned.

He was England's most capped player in white-ball and lead run scorer.

Morgan felt like he was struggling on the recent England-Nepal trip.

Buttler is not faring much better. He endured a rough start as captain and won just one of the four games.
