Harry Brook OS Takes the Helm as England White-Ball Captain

Sedbergh School is thrilled to congratulate Old Sedberghian Harry Brook on his appointment as England’s white-ball cricket captain. This outstanding achievement is a testament to the dedication and passion he displayed from an early age, and we could not be prouder to see one of our own leading the national side on the global stage.

From the moment Harry first wore Sedbergh colours, his talent and love for the game were evident. Every match he played reflected his commitment to excellence and inspired those around him. That spark has now propelled him into a leadership role at the pinnacle of English cricket—something that fills everyone connected to Sedbergh with immense pride.

Our cricketing tradition runs deep, and the torch burns brightly under our current Head of Cricket, Jimmy Anyon. With his focus on process, positive thinking, and determination, Jimmy is a capable-steward of our cricket programme, ensuring Sedbergh remains a nurturing ground for future athletes. The spirit of resilience, strong teamwork, and sportsmanship he fosters will undoubtedly produce more success stories in the coming years.

Harry’s rise to captaincy highlights the enduring legacy of cricket at Sedbergh: a place where ability and character are honed in equal measure. May his accomplishments inspire our current pupils not just to dream, but to persevere and pursue every opportunity with the same passion and grit. We look forward to following Harry’s journey and celebrating his continued success as he leads England forward in the exciting chapters yet to come.
