England has announced Harry Brook as the new vice-captain for the upcoming Ashes series against Australia. Brook takes over the role from Ollie Pope, a change that head coach Brendon McCullum had hinted at earlier this month.
In addition to Brook’s appointment, Will Jacks has been included in England’s 16-man squad for the five-match series Down Under.
While Harry Brook leads England in white-ball cricket, Test captain Ben Stokes will continue to spearhead the side in Australia.
