Brook and Marcus Trescothick form a caretaker captain-head coach alliance for an ODI reboot against Australia ahead of McCullum assuming control in all formats in January

Harry Brook’s message will be simple as he heads into a brief spell as England cricket captain. He says the mantra will be “whatever you feel like doing, just do it."

Stand-in skipper wants his side to mirror fearless Test team even before Brendon McCullum also takes the white-ball reins

Harry Brook said he was "not too fussed" after England's batting collapse during a heavy one-day international defeat by Australia in his first match as captain, defending his side's gung-ho approach.

This is a five-match series, which is unusual these days. In fact it is England’s first in 50-over cricket since 2019. Bilateral series are under threat from franchise leagues but remain important for captains and coaches to build a team. It is how Eoin Morgan plotted his way to World Cup glory.

Brendon McCullum appointed as England's men's white-ball head coach, extending his role to include T20 and ODI formats alongside Test duties.

Harry Brook suspects England’s approach will “merge into one” when Brendon McCullum unifies the head coach roles.
