England head coach Brendon McCullum has hailed white-ball captain Harry Brook as a ‘tough lad’ for his deft handling of recent controversy, not allowing it to affect him as he led his team to victory in Sri Lanka.
Brook has been in the eye of a storm since news emerged at the end of the 4-1 Ashes defeat - where England faced accusations of a "drinking culture" - that white-ball captain Brook had been involved in an altercation with a nightclub bouncer on the preceding tour of New Zealand.
