Harry Brook to be named England T20 captain but ODI role could go to Ben Stokes

Harry Brook is in line to become England’s new T20 captain but remains in a two-horse race with Ben Stokes for the ODI job, Telegraph Sport understands.

Jos Buttler stepped down as England’s white-ball captain at the end of February after almost three years in charge following a disastrous Champions Trophy campaign.

Brook, 26, was Buttler’s vice-captain at the end of his reign and is a key player for England in all three formats. However he endured a tricky tour of India and Pakistan earlier this year and withdrew from the Indian Premier League citing a desire to “fully commit” to upcoming England action.
