England have already lost the three-match ODI series against South Africa with a game in hand. Despite England’s disappointing show, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif was very impressed with Harry Brook as he feels that he could be the next Babar Azam or Virat Kohli.
Speaking on YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’, Rashid hailed Brook as the next big thing in international cricket while reminding that the youngster was bought by SRH for a whopping INR 13.35 Crores in the IPL 2023 Auction.
“If you look at Brook’s performance, in the last couple of innings he was just outstanding. He just doesn’t stop. He also became one of the most expensive overseas players in the IPL auction. Brook is now one of the best players in the world at the moment, among the current crop of players. He could be the next Babar Azam or Virat Kohli,” he said.
Earlier, England Test skipper Ben Stokes also had a similar take on the emerging youngster.
“He’s one of those rare players that you look across all formats and you can just see him being successful everywhere. It’s a massive shout, but Virat Kohli is one of those guys where his technique is just so simple and works everywhere. The pressure that he puts back on the opposition is exactly what we’re about,” Stokes told Sky Sports after the Pakistan series.
