We’ll be WHITE at it vows England skipper

HARRY Brook knows the white-ball tour of New Zealand will be “completely different” to what awaits England for the Ashes series in Australia - but he intends to make the most of some long-overdue bonding time together with an eye on the T20 World Cup.

England will play three T20 internationals against the Black Caps, the first of which will be in Christchurch on Saturday, followed by a three-match ODI series.

All-rounders Sam Curran and Liam Dawson have both been selected for the ODI squad, while Kent batter Zak Crawley gets a maiden T20 call-up.

Test vice-captain Brook will skipper both sides for the tour, which concludes in Wellington on November 1.

The Yorkshire batter hopes it can prove a positive environment for the players to bond before attentions sharpen on the Ashes, when England will hope to reclaim the urn for the first time since 2015.
