Batter Harry Brook has been appointed as England's new white-ball captain on Monday, April 7.
He replaces Jos Buttler who stepped down as captain after England was eliminated from the ICC Champions Trophy during the group stage.
As per multiple outlets, Brook who served as Buttler's vice-captain for the past 12 months will be responsible for leading the team in both formats (ODIs and T20s).
The 26-year-old said in a statement, "It's a real honour to be named England's white-ball captain. I’m excited to get going and give it everything I've got,” as per Reuters.
Previously, he had temporarily taken on the role of ODI captain during a five-match series against Australia in September when Buttler was injured and unavailable to play.
He was also the captain of the England Under-19 cricket team and also led the Northern Superchargers team in The Hundred tournament last year.
