# Cricket: Harry Brook is England’s new white-ball captain. The 26-year-old batter succeeds Jos Buttler, who stepped down from the role after the country failed to survive the group stage of the Champions Trophy. Managing director Rob Key says Brook had been part of their succession planning for some time. He describes him as an outstanding player with an excellent cricketing brain and a clear vision for both teams that will help drive England towards winning more series, World Cups and major global tournaments.
