England's Harry Brook plays a shot on the fourth day of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 28, 2026. (AFP) Harry Brook said Tuesday it would be a "great honour" to succeed Ben Stokes as England's Test captain even if that meant he was responsible for leading the side in all three international formats.Brook is set to skipper England in Wednesday's first T20 against India at Chester-le-Street and found himself talking to reporters just a day after Stokes bowed out of international cricket with a thumping 160-run loss to New Zealand in the third Test at Trent Bridge.Brook, also involved in a defeat that condemned England to a 2-1 series loss to the Black Caps, is now set to be at the helm for eight white-ball matches in just 18 days against India.But Brook said he would have no qualms about succeeding Stokes, who gave him his "100 percent support" for the role of Test skipper during his final press conference as captain."It's not up to me but if I got offered it then I'd be happy to take it," the talented 27-year-old batsman told reporters."I don't know yet (if it will happen) but it would be a great honour to do it. It'd be a privilege to captain England in the highest format of our game and the pinnacle."Playing Test cricket is the greatest thing I've ever done in my life, and it's a dream, something I've always wanted to do since I could speak," added Brook, who averages an impressive 53 in the format, with 10 hundreds in 38 matches.Head coach Brendon McCullum, in charge of both red and white-ball teams, indicated Monday that England would take their time over appointing Stokes's successor given it is over a month before their next Test -- against Pakistan at Brook's Headingley home ground. CONGESTED FIXTURE SCHEDULEEngland's congested fixture schedule, allied to concerns about the detrimental impact on a player's form were he to lead the side in all three formats, has led officials to shy away from making one man the captain in Test, 50-over and T20 cricket"I think it would be a tough job, but everything's tough in cricket," said Brook. "It's a hard sport."The other leading candidate to succeed Stokes is Joe Root, who as England's Test captain from 2017 to 2022 and stepped in when Stokes was deemed unavailable for the second match of the New Zealand series following a nightclub incident subject to a disciplinary investigation.Brook is the official Test vice-captain but his altercation with a bouncer in Wellington last November -- an incident that led to the imposition of a curfew that Stokes broke -- made England wary of leaving him in charge at the Oval."Making Rooty captain that week was definitely the right decision," said Brook."He's been a stalwart for English cricket," he added of his Yorkshire team-mate. "The ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) needed him that week and he stepped up. My job was to help him as much as possible." Related Story

France's Léon Marchand competes in the 200-metres men's breaststroke heat during the French national swimming championships in Saint-Etienne, central France on June 29, 2026. (AFP) Swimming star Leon Marchand pulled out of the French nationals on Tuesday with a leg muscle issue just weeks before the European Championships.During the 200m breaststroke heats on Monday, Marchand felt sharp pain in the adductor muscle of his right leg, his team said."To avoid any aggravation and to protect his health, Leon has decided in consultation with his technical and medical staff not to continue competing," a team statement added.It was not specified whether the injury would jeopardise his participation in the European Championships from August 10-16, a competition which would mark his return to Paris two years after his triumph at the 2024 Olympics.Early on Monday, the 24-year-old had placed a surprise third in his 200m breaststroke heat in 2min 16.16sec.After swimming the first part of the race at a good pace, Marchand visibly eased with television footage showing him clutching his right thigh at the end of the race.The four-time Olympic gold medallist and seven-time world champion had gotten off to a flying start to the French championships, clocking the fifth-fastest time in history in the 400m individual medley final on Saturday.The withdrawal does not jeopardise his qualification for Europeans having already secured his spot with his performance on Saturday.He could still be selected for other events if all qualification quotas are not filled by the end of the competition in Saint-Etienne and provided he is fit.
