Harry Brook not Ollie Pope should be Stokes’ successor in Tests: Vaughan

LONDON: (Aug 4) Harry Brook’s on-field presence gives off the vibe of a great leader and he should be the ready replacement for skipper Ben Stokes when the time comes, feels one of England’s finest Test captain Michael Vaughan.

Brook, a maverick batter, reignited England’s hopes in the ongoing Test with an attacking 111 off 98 balls, leaving his team 35 runs away from victory with four wickets in hand heading into the final day.

Vaughan, who won 26 out of his 51 Tests as captain, feels that Ollie Pope is a fantastic deputy but when Stokes decides to call time, Brook is the ideal guy to lead England.
