After Jos Buttler's Decision To Step Down, Nasser Hussain Backs Young Star As New England Captain
Former England captain Nasser Hussain has thrown his support behind Harry Brook to take over as England's next white-ball captain, urging the team to make the transition “as soon as possible.” Hussain's comments come in the wake of Jos Buttler stepping down from the role following England's disappointing group-stage exit in the ICC Champions Trophy. Buttler, who succeeded Eoin Morgan in 2022, endured a tough stint as skipper, losing 22 of his 34 ODIs as permanent captain. England's struggle in white-ball cricket have been evident, with their early exit in the Champions Trophy following a group-stage elimination in the 2023 ODI World Cup and an unconvincing semi-final run in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
