Brook had stood in for an injured Buttler as the England captain when the side played an ODI series against Australia in September last year. Brook had also captained England at the 2018 ICC Under-19 Men\u2019s World Cup in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s a real honour to be named England\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTo now be given that chance means a great deal to me. I want to thank my family and coaches who\u2019ve supported me every step of the way. Their belief in me has made all the difference and I wouldn\u2019t be in this position without them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so much talent in this country, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting started, moving us forward, and working towards winning series, World Cups and major events. I\u2019m excited to get going and give it everything I\u2019ve got,\u201d said Brook in a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook, 26, has been a key part of England\u2019s white-ball set-up since making his debut in January 2022 and is currently ranked number two in the ICC Test rankings. So far, Brook has played 26 ODIs for England, scoring 816 runs at an average of 34, with a highest score of 110.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He has also played 44 T20Is, with a highest score of 81 and was part of the team that won the 2022 ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in Australia under Buttler\u2019s leadership. Rob Key, Managing Director of England Men\u2019s Cricket, expressed elation over Brook taking the top role.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019m delighted that Harry Brook has accepted the role as England\u2019s white-ball captain across both formats. He\u2019s been part of our succession planning for some time, albeit this opportunity has come slightly earlier than expected.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Harry is not only an outstanding cricketer, but also has an excellent cricketing brain and a clear vision for both teams that will help drive us towards winning more series, World Cups and major global tournaments,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
