Summary
Henry Moeran is alongside the BBC’s Chief Cricket Commentator Jonathan Agnew and former Ashes-winning England bowler Steven Finn for reaction to Harry Brook being named as England’s white-ball captain.
They discuss how Brook will balance the role with his Test commitments, as well as the knock-on effects it could have on England’s red-ball side, and he’s been given the role too early by the ECB.
Plus, they discuss whether there were any other realistic options within England’s current white-ball squad.
