Harry Cherrington Brook (born 22 February 1999) is an English international cricketer who plays international cricket for England and domestic cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club.[1][2] Primarily a right-handed batsman, he also bowls right-arm medium pace. He made his international debut for England in January 2022.[3]

Early life[]

Brook was born in Airedale but raised in Burley in Wharfedale. He was educated at Ilkley Grammar School, a comprehensive school in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. At the age of 14, he left having been offered a scholarship at Sedbergh School, an independent boarding school in Cumbria.[2][4][5] Journalist Alex Mason reported for the Cricketer Magazine that former professional cricketer and Sedbergh School cricket coach Martin Speight was a very big influence on Brook's career during his schooldays.[6]

Cricket career[]

Brook made his first-class debut for Yorkshire against Pakistan A on 26 June 2016 at Headingley whilst still at school.[4][2][5][7] He made his County Championship debut for Yorkshire against Middlesex at Lord's on 19 June 2017. His debut followed a series of three centuries scored within a fortnight for Yorkshire's second eleven.[8] At international level, Brook toured India in early 2017 with the England under-19s, playing in two U-19 Tests and five U-19 LOIs against the India under-19s.[9][10]
