Harry Brook named England men’s white-ball captain
Harry Brook has been named England's new white-ball captain, succeeding Jos Buttler, who had recently resigned following England's poor campaign at the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed Brook's appointment on Monday.
"It's a real honour to be named England's white-ball captain. Ever since I was a kid playing cricket at Burley in Wharfedale, I dreamed of representing Yorkshire, playing for England, and maybe one day leading the team. To now be given that chance means a great deal to me," Brook said in a statement.
"I want to thank my family and coaches who've supported me every step of the way. Their belief in me has made all the difference and I wouldn't be in this position without them. There's so much talent in this country, and I'm looking forward to getting started, moving us forward, and working towards winning series, World Cups and major events.”
Brook has captaincy experience after leading England in Buttler's absence during the home ODIs against Australia in 2024. However, he hasn’t captained England in T20Is. And most recently, he was in the news for pulling out of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
