England Whitewash West Indies 3-0 Under Captain Harry Brook

News summary

Harry Brook has enjoyed a highly successful start as England's full-time white-ball captain, leading the team to a 3-0 ODI series whitewash against the West Indies, their first such sweep in three years. The series highlighted the emergence of a strong and balanced squad, with Jamie Smith's explosive 64 off 28 balls and Jos Buttler's unbeaten 41 off 20 deliveries playing key roles in the final match chase. Despite a sloppy fielding performance in the Cardiff game, where Joe Root's exceptional 166 not out rescued the team, Brook praised the close-knit nature of the squad and their positive response to setbacks. England's new opening partnership of Smith and Ben Duckett showed promise after initial failures, contributing vital runs later in the series. The bowling attack, featuring seamers Brydon Carse and Saqib Mahmood, along with spinner Adil Rashid, complemented a deep batting lineup, giving Brook optimism for upcoming fixtures, including a T20 series. Overall, this series marked a morale-boosting turnaround for England's white-ball cricket following a disappointing Champions Trophy campaign and Buttler's earlier resignation as captain.
