England head coach Brendon McCullum has backed Harry Brook's leadership despite the team's failure to reach the final of the ODI tri-series in Pakistan. McCullum said the young captain had gained valuable experience from a difficult assignment.
England head coach Brendon McCullum praised Harry Brook as one of the best tactical captains he has encountered, despite England failing to reach the final of the ODI tri-series in Pakistan. After losing their opening three matches, Brook's side finished their campaign in Lahore with a 55-run victory over Sri Lanka, successfully defending 386 by bowling out their opponents for 331.
McCullum noted Brook gained valuable experience under pressure and commanded the full respect of the dressing room. England will continue preparing for the 2027 ODI World Cup with a white-ball tour of Australia in November, where Jacob Bethell and Jofra Archer are expected to return, while Jos Buttler remains sidelined following hamstring surgery.
