Brook on Test captaincy, batting and Wellington
In an exclusive interview, England's Harry Brook says he supports Joe Root taking the Test captaincy, addresses frustrations about his batting and describes the Wellington nightclub incident fallout.
Harry Brook, the England Test captain, finds himself in a challenging position following his altercation with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington. Brook, who has scored more international runs for England than any other player in recent history, was punched by the bouncer on the eve of a one-day international against New Zealand. Since then, he has been asked if the incident has cost him the captaincy, to which Brook has replied that he does not know the answer.
Despite the fallout, Brook remains excited about Joe Root's appointment as the new captain and looks forward to working alongside him. Brook's decision to lead the white-ball side during a difficult period has earned him praise for his character and leadership. He credits his experience in bouncing back from adversity for making the role of Test captain more significant.
