White-ball captain Harry Brook says he has "learned a lot" as a captain and a person - and wants to be the player England fans rely on.
It is almost a year since Brook, 27, was punched by a nightclub bouncer on the eve of a match against New Zealand in Wellington, which led to doubts over his future as skipper.
He has not made a Test hundred since, including failing to do so during last winter's Ashes, but has been in excellent white-ball form and has overseen a resurgence in England's 50-over and T20 sides.
"I've learnt a lot as a captain, I've learnt a lot as a person," Brook, whose side return to action in a 50-over tri-series on Tuesday, told Press Association.
