00:00Liam Livingstone feels like he has been handed a new career as he prepares to captain England
00:07for the first time just two months after losing his place in the side.
00:11With Jos Butler injured, Livingstone has been asked to lead his country in the three-match
00:15ODI series, which begins in Antigua on Thursday, capping a remarkably swift change in fortunes.
00:22It's only a matter of weeks since he was dropped from the 50-over squad for September's games
00:27against Australia, throwing his future in the format into doubt.
00:31But two big T20 outings against the Australians earned him an instant recall and now the 31-year-old
00:37finds himself ready to embrace his newly influential role.
00:41A big part of Livingstone's job in the Caribbean will be easing in some of the fresh faces,
00:46including the uncapped quartet of Dan Mousley, Michael Pepper, John Turner and Hafez Johan,
00:52as England look to turn their fortunes around and steer towards a positive end to a fair
00:57and difficult year for the ECB.
