'It's Right Not To Overburden Stokes': Atherton Backs Brook As England's White-ball Captain
New Delhi: Michael Atherton has backed England's decision to appoint Harry Brook as the new white-ball captain, describing it as a “sensible” move that prioritises both long-term leadership stability and the protection of Ben Stokes’ fitness ahead of a crucial Test calendar.
Brook takes the reins in both ODI and T20I formats following Jos Buttler’s resignation after England’s disappointing Champions Trophy group-stage exit. At 26, Brook represents the next generation of English cricket leadership, having already served as vice-captain and taken charge during an ODI series against Australia last year.
“I think it’s the right move not to have overburdened Stokes. He has a clear project with the Test team and at 33, his body is creaking a bit. Hamstring injuries have already kept him out for long periods recently, so giving him more responsibility wouldn’t have been wise,” Atherton told Sky Sports.
