HARRY BROOK is set to play for Yorkshire from the start of the season - and Joe Root for a healthy number of fixtures too - in a major boost to the club’s hopes of getting off to a flying start as it targets promotion back to Division One of the County Championship.
Brook missed England’s Test tour to India this winter due to personal reasons, his grandmother sadly passing away. The 25-year-old has not played any cricket since the T20 series in West Indies in December, but he has indicated his readiness to return to the fold. Root could be available for several County Championship games before the start of the Test summer against the West Indies in July.
Small wonder that he was called up to make his Test debut later that year, his returns for England having been hardly less striking - 1,181 runs in 12 Tests at 62.15. Brook did not play for Yorkshire in any competition last year - a sign of the times and the global schedule. Nor did Root for that matter, his last outings in a Yorkshire shirt also coming in 2022 when he played three Championship and three T20 matches, the highlight for him a Roses hundred in the Championship at Headingley.
