Brook has a healthy T20 strike rate of 148.68 in 99 games and has a century and nine fifties to his name. Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, Brook said, “It’s the best franchise competition in the world.

There are a lot of good players there, and hopefully, I get some opportunities to express how I’m playing at the minute – and show the world I’m capable of scoring runs anywhere.”

Brook revealed that former England captain Kevin Pietersen was his role model growing up and feels his gameplay is quite similar to Pietersen’s. Brook has taken significant strides to become England’s next big thing, scoring centuries in all three Tests during the Pakistan tour and boasting an average of 80.90 in the format. His best of 186 came against New Zealand in Wellington.
