'It’s just too soon': England reveal why Brook was overlooked for Test captaincy
England managing director Rob Key said it would have been 'too soon' to make Harry Brook Test captain.
Joe Root's return as full-time Test captain was confirmed, with Stephen Fleming appointed as England's Test head coach.
Ben Stokes retired from international cricket and Brendon McCullum stepped down as Test coach.
Brook was England's white-ball captain and Test vice-captain but missed out on the captaincy despite interest.
Key and Fleming agreed Root was the right choice, citing Brook's need for more time and Root's readiness.
