- McCullum said he let Brook find his own style and praised his simple, composed approach as a strong foundation for the side.
- Jos Buttler returned to form as player of the series in the T20s and bolstered the team with his batting, wicket-keeping and on-field advice.
- Jamie Smith impressed in his new role as opener, posting strike rates of 180 in ODIs and 200 in T20s alongside Ben Duckett.
