The 26-year-old takes over after Jos Buttler resigned from the position during the ICC Champions Trophy. England has been in the back seat following a winless CT campaign and a mediocre showing in the previous ICC events. They haven't put on a show that makes a statement since Brendon McCullum was promoted to become the all-format coach. Brook will have a massive workload as the new white-ball skipper, and he does not mind losing money as he commits himself to his national side."England is the way forward for me and franchise cricket can almost take a step back for a little while. I enjoy playing cricket for England more than anything else, so to lose a little bit of money here and there - I'd take that any day to play for England."There might be a couple of opportunities to have a little break here and there. I'd like to play every game but if I require a week off and that's the best thing going forward for my game, then I'm sure I'll be allowed a week off," Harry Brook said while speaking to the BBC.Also Read: Who Is Joanna Child?
