Harry Brook, who has experience leading Yorkshire in the Blast (2022) and Northern Superchargers in the Hundred (2024), got his first taste of international captaincy in the absence of Jos Buttler during the ODI series against Australia in September 2024, where the England cricket team lost the series 2-3.
The 25-year-old middle-order batter will serve as Jos Buttler’s deputy in the upcoming series against India. Moeen Ali retired from international cricket following his exclusion from the home series against Australia.

The 25-year-old batter was preferred for the vice-captaincy role over all-rounder Liam Livingstone and wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt. Livingstone has also led the team in ODIs, and Salt briefly served as England's T20I captain in two matches last year.
