England's New ODI Captain Harry Brook Lashes Out at Team's Dismal Form

In a major shakeup, England has appointed Harry Brook as their new ODI captain after the sacking of Jos Buttler following the team's dismal performance in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Under Brook's leadership, England has suffered a staggering 23 losses in their last 34 ODI matches, a concerning trend that has left the new skipper frustrated.

Despite boasting a talented lineup featuring some of the world's best batters, England has consistently failed to post competitive totals, often being bowled out for under 250 runs. Brook has not minced words, criticizing his players for their inability to adapt to the swinging and seaming conditions they have faced on the road.

"Everybody in that batting line-up is good enough to be able to face a swinging and seaming ball. In my eyes, that's just an excuse, and they're good enough to be able to cope with that and score runs against that," Brook said, expressing his disappointment in the team's performances.

With the 2027 ICC World Cup on the horizon, England will need to address their white-ball woes quickly if they hope to be contenders on the global stage. The road ahead for Brook and his team is a challenging one, as they look to turn around their fortunes and regain the trust of their passionate fans.
