Harry Brook, England's current white-ball captain, expressed his readiness to take on the role of test team captain if approached, describing it as an 'honour and a privilege'. Despite the challenges, Brook believes he can handle the demands of leading across all three formats.

With Ben Stokes retiring from international cricket, speculation has risen around Brook, who served as vice-captain in England's previous test series against New Zealand. Brook acknowledged the possibility, stating, "It would be an honour and a privilege to be test captain – the pinnacle of our sport."

Brook also mentioned that although the decision rests with those above him, he would be prepared if asked. He emphasized that his lack of involvement in franchise cricket could allow him to focus on fitness and readiness for multiple formats. Brook will next lead England's T20 team against India, underscoring his commitment to playing for England regardless of his leadership role.
