LONDON (Reuters) - England batter Harry Brook has been appointed the country's white-ball captain after Jos Buttler stepped down after their group stage exit from the ICC Champions Trophy, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Monday.

"It's a real honour to be named England's white-ball captain," Brook, 26, said in a statement. "I'm excited to get going and give it everything I've got."
