Harry Brook has been appointed as the new captain of England’s ODI and T20I teams, taking over from Jos Buttler, who stepped down after the team’s early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 last month in Pakistan. The England Cricket Board announced Brook’s appointment on April 7.
Brook, known for his explosive batting and cool-headed leadership, has been a key part of England’s white-ball setup since his debut in January 2022. The talented batter, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the ICC Test batting rankings, has also served as the vice-captain in both formats over the past year.
