Overview
- Greg Chappell said Harry Brook reminds him of a young Sachin Tendulkar, citing minimal initial movement and the ability to score off most deliveries.
- Chappell wrote that Brook has the tools to be one of England’s finest batters and possibly their most destructive in modern Test cricket.
- Brook’s Test record stands at 2,820 runs from 30 matches at an average of about 57.55, including 10 centuries and 13 fifties.
- Brook, England’s red-ball vice-captain, said he is still processing the intensity of the recent 2-2 India series in which he played on all 25 days.
- The 2025-26 Ashes begins on November 21 in Perth, where Brook is set for his first Test in Australia, a challenge Chappell says will test his adaptation, with England winless in an Ashes match in Australia since 2010-11.
