"I did not consider resigning but the possibility of getting sacked was definitely playing through my mind. I left that decision to the hierarchy and look, if they'd have sacked me from being captain, then I'd have been perfectly fine with it as long as I was still playing cricket for England, Brook said. Asked if he felt lucky to still be captain, Brook replied: Probably slightly, yeah."
"But like I say, even if I had been sacked, I'd have held my hands up and said, Look, I've made the mistake,' and I'd have been perfectly fine with getting sacked from the job as captain, as long as I was still playing cricket. I think I've got a little bit of work to do to try and regain the trust of the players."
Harry Brook was involved in an altercation with a nightclub bouncer on the eve of England's third ODI against New Zealand. He reported the incident to team management and received a fine reportedly close to £30,000 while retaining the white-ball captaincy. The England and Wales Cricket Board handled the matter through a formal, confidential disciplinary process and indicated the player apologised and acknowledged that his conduct fell below expectations. Brook apologised, described his behaviour as wrong and embarrassing, accepted responsibility, and said he must work to regain the trust of his teammates.
