Harry Brook, the emerging star of England's cricket team, is being touted as a potential future captain by former Test captain Michael Vaughan. Vaughan argues that Brook's natural leadership skills make him an apt replacement for Ben Stokes in the leadership role.

Brook recently showcased his dynamic batting prowess by scoring a formidable 111 off 98 balls in an ongoing Test match, positioning England tantalizingly close to victory. Such performances bolster Vaughan's belief that Brook is a leader in the making.

While Ollie Pope has excelled in his role as vice-captain, Vaughan is skeptical about vice-captains transitioning effectively into full-fledged captains. He cited examples from his own captaincy tenure, emphasizing Brook's potential to lead England in the future.
