Harry Brook says captaining England against India left him tired

Harry Brook is a famous cricketer who plays for England.

He is the captain of England's white-ball cricket team.

That means he leads the team in matches that use a white ball.

Being a captain is a very important job, but it can be really tiring.

Harry Brook said that captaining is 'bloody hard' and takes a lot out of you.

He was tired after playing against India.

England did very well against India, winning four out of five of the short matches and two out of three of the longer ones.

But even though they won, Harry was glad to get a break from being captain.

He got to play in a competition called The Hundred as just a batsman.

That meant he didn't have to make the big decisions, and he could just focus on hitting the ball.
