Harry Brook Named England's New White-Ball Captain

Harry Brook has been appointed as England's new captain for both the ODI and T20I teams, succeeding Jos Buttler, who resigned after a disappointing ICC Champions Trophy campaign. At 26, Brook, who has played key roles in England's recent successes, expressed his honor at taking on the leadership role, highlighting his lifelong ambition to represent and lead England. He has been part of the emerging leadership group and previously stood in for Buttler during an ODI series against Australia. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) expressed confidence in Brook's ability to guide the team towards future successes, including upcoming series and World Cups. Brook's performances have established him as a vital player, and he aims to leverage the talent within the team to achieve major victories. His immediate focus will be on improving England's performance in the white-ball formats as they prepare for international competitions ahead.
