“I think we can relax a little more. There was a lot of pressure out of the outside that we let us come in, and it affected certain players,” Brook said.
“I would find that we will come across things that I really did not want to see. As a group we can try to keep the external noise to a minimum.
“It is obviously a very proud moment for me and for anyone who has played a role in my career, I look forward to what will come in the future.
“For a while, it was all in the air, as everyone knows, I found it last week. Keys (Rob Key, CEO of the English Men’s cricket) and Baz (Brendon McCullum, English coach) rang me, and when they told me I took it with my arms open.”

“I try to choose players who can naturally trigger the best pitchers in the world under pressure from their best balls and the worst balls,” Brook said.
“I want people who can manipulate the fields at certain stages in the game, and those who can get big runs and contribute a really good benefit for games.
