"I think his tactical acumen is as good as I've seen in a short period of time for a young man. He has work to do off the field, no doubt, as do some of the other young lads we have in our side and that's what happens when you come in at 20 and it's your formative years and you're growing up on a world stage with spotlight, fame, fortune and pressure that comes with it."
"Obviously when we're made aware of things that haven't gone right we discipline and we have a stern word and we try and deal with things internally. I don't think we need to release all of those findings every time something arises to the media. We feel like we deal with them and we've dealt with the processes of the last little while, I thought, pretty well."
Brendon McCullum defends the team's culture while praising Harry Brook's tactical acumen and on-field leadership. Brook was involved in a nightclub incident and initially gave an inaccurate account, which later led to a statement admitting others were present and fines for teammates Josh Tongue and Jacob Bethell. Brook produced a series-winning century in an ODI and England finished the Sri Lanka tour with a T20 victory. The players were described as having made a mistake, were disciplined internally, and management prefers handling such matters privately rather than releasing all findings to the media.
