The young English batsman is following a well trodden path of successfully cricketers from the county of Yorkshire, with the most recent graduates Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow starring at international level. The later named was full of praise for Brook following last weeks career high innings at first class level of 124; saying ‘Harry has a huge amount of gift and talent.
After scoring heavily for the 2nd XI at Yorkshire Brook was rewarded with a first team place in June 2017. After 5 innings and a highest score of 38 Brook seemed at ease with the step up in grade, culminating in last weeks 124 against the county champions Essex.
