Harry Brook has stated that while Test cricket is his main priority, gaining leadership experience in the Hundred could see him throw his hat in the ring for England’s white-ball captaincy one day. (More Cricket News)
The f꧃utures of skipper Jos Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott are up in the a🧸ir after England's failure to successfully defend their 50-over and T20 World Cup titles.
, who has risen to third in🙈 the ICC Test batting rankings, a place behind his team-mate Joe Root, is a possible candidate to take on the captaincy.
The 25-year-old starred in England's win over the West Indies last week, scoring a fifth Test♏ century at Trent Bridge from 139 balls in their 241-run triumph.&𝔍nbsp;
Brook is due to lead Northern Superchargers in the 100-bal𝔉l tournament under coach Andrew Flintoff, who was England’s assistant coach at the T20 World Cup✤ in June.
"This is my first captaincy role with the Superchargers," Brook said. "We'll see how that goes and then maybe I'll have a diffe🐭rent answer in a couple of months.
"I don't see anything happening any time soon, so I'll just sta🦹y in the moment and focus on Tes𒁃t cricket."
Brook will join up with the Superchargers following England's t✃hird and final Test against West Indies at Edgbaston, which ღbegins on Friday.
England’s schedule makes it difficult for Brook or any other Test regular to captain the white-ball team. The first ⛦T20 ag💛ainst Australia is the day after the Test series against Sri Lanka finishes.
The ODI series later that month ends a couple of days before England fly to Pakistan to play Tests. That series finis💯hes on October 28, with an ODI series in the Caribbean beginning three days later.
"I want to 🃏play every Test match I can for England," said B🌠rook.
"Test cricket is my priority. I don't want to think too far ahead. The Ashes is a long way away and we have a lot of ﷽Test cricket before then. My main focus is to stay in the moment and not get ahead of myself."
