COLOMBO: Harry Brook, a day before the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, has expressed his gratitude for keeping England’s white-ball captaincy after an off-field incident in New Zealand.

Brook also feels that he now has work to do to rebuild trust within the squad.

Last November, the England star had a clash with a nightclub bouncer just before the third ODI against New Zealand. As this was Brook's first time leading England in an overseas series, he informed the team management about the incident. He was fined significantly but did not lose his captaincy.
