'Great opportunity' for stand-in captain Pope says Lawrence.

yeah definitely he's obviously been touted as as England Captain for for a couple of years now um I've obviously played under him at sorry as Captain um and he's yeah he's fantastic and I'm I'm sure he'll he'll take it on his stride yeah I think it's obviously quite important for olle not to not to try and be Ben Stokes because it's he's obviously a very very dominant character and I think it's very good that he's around this week as well cuz he's obviously going to be overseeing things and and helping out wherever he can um yeah not having Stokes is obviously a big loss for the team but it's another great opportunity for a Ole to step up and and get some practice as Captain um and then for us younger players to go out there and and put on the performance yeah I can't wait obviously I've been on the sideline for for a couple of years now um which has been frustrating at times but um all the Batters have been in great order for two years so uh very thankful to get my opportunity and and I can't wait to get going yeah massively um the 100 was a as a batter was quite a challenging tournament um but it's obviously a completely different format and it's and it's a nice fresh start um although it's uh the end of August it's it's almost like a new a new little season starting again and and it's really exciting
