England test captaincy would be a privilege: Harry Brook

Harry Brook said it would be an honour to captain England's test team if asked and believes he can handle the demands of leading his country across all three formats. Brook, England's current white-ball skipper, served as vice-captain under Ben Stokes for the 2-1 test series defeat by New Zealand on home soil. Stokes, who has announced his retirement from international cricket, is among those to have tipped the 27-year-old to lead the test side. "I don't think you can turn down being an Engla...

A sense of "disbelief" hangs over the India camp after the double 20-overs world champions suffered a 2-0 series whitewash against Ireland with assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate blaming the debacle on their failure to adapt to conditions in Belfast. Few gave Ireland a chance in the two-match series, but Lorcan Tucker's side humbled India twice in three days, spoiling Shreyas Iyer's debut series as India's 20-overs captain. "There's a little bit of disbelief," ten Doeschate told reporters afte...
