Harry Brook named England white-ball captain to succeed Jos Buttler

Harry Brook has been appointed England's new white-ball captain, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Monday (April 7). The 26-year-old succeeds Jos Buttler, who stepped down following England's campaign at the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

"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. I'm excited to get going and give it everything I've got."
