London, April 7: Harry Brook has been appointed as England’s new white-ball captain, taking over from Jos Buttler, who resigned after the team’s winless run in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Monday. Brook, who has served as vice-captain in ODIs and T20Is over the past year, was widely seen as the successor.

The 25-year-old had already showcased his leadership skills when he led England against Australia last September in Buttler’s absence.
Despite England narrowly losing the series 3-2, Brook impressed by emerging as the highest run-scorer, amassing 312 runs in five matches at an average of 78.00 and a strike rate exceeding 127, including one century and two fifties.
Brook has been a crucial part of England’s white-ball setup since 2022 and continues to shine across all formats. He currently holds the second spot in the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings.
