Harry Brook Succeeds Jos Buttler As England's New Men’s White-ball Captain

By IANS News April 07, 2025 • 16:50 PM View: 869

ICC Champions Trophy: Right-handed batter Harry Brook has been appointed as the new captain of the England men’s white-ball teams. Brook succeeds Jos Buttler, who stepped down from the role following England’s early exit from 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

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’s World Cup in New Zealand.

"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.”
