Last night, Harry Brook of the Northern Superchargers put on an explosive show, scoring a stunning 42-ball century. His heroics had Michael Vaughan, the former England skipper, convinced Brook should eventually make the cut for the upcoming World Cup.
"Harry Brook is different class," tweeted Vaughan in response to Brook's awesome display of hitting. "My guess is he will end up at the World Cup."
The 24-year-old capped the night off with an amazing catch on the boundary, though the Superchargers ultimately lost to the Welsh Fire by 8 wickets, leaving their hopes of making the eliminator on Saturday in doubt.
Unfortunately, Brook was snubbed from the team last week, partly due to the U-turn of Ben Stokes, who decided to come out of ODI retirement and join the squad. Brook himself commented on his omission, saying:
"Obviously it's disappointing but I can't do anything about it now. You've just got to move on. I'm trying not to think about it anymore."
The England star admitted he hadn't had much opportunity to play one-day cricket lately, whether it be for Yorkshire or for his country. He also mentioned he hadn't been playing as well in T20 cricket over the past six months, which could have had an effect.
Despite the snub, Brook remains optimistic, saying he believes he could still add value to the team. With his extraordinary performance last night, it seems Michael Vaughan agrees.
