England batsman Harry Brook
Harry himself is excited to showcase his talent in the subcontinent. The youngster said that IPL is the best franchise cricket tournament in the world and he can’t wait to play in it
Young batsman Harry Brook has been a sensation in international cricket since making his debut for England. The 24-year-old is already a T20 world champion and has scored four centuries in just 6 Tests. He has got less chances in white-ball games but has an excellent strike rate in both ODIs (98.85) and T20Is (137.77).
After an impressive international debut, Brook is all set to experience the grandeur of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ahead of the 2023 season, the right-handed batsman was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the mega players auction for a whopping amount of Rs 13.25 crore. And now, he is all set to join the orange army while fans eagerly await his batting skills on Indian pitches against world class bowlers.

Harry himself is excited to showcase his talent in the subcontinent. Talking to ESPNcricinfo, the youngster said that IPL is the best franchise cricket tournament in the world and he cannot wait to play in it.
“It’s the best franchise competition in the world,” Brook was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
“Everyone wants to play in it. There are a lot of good players out there, and hopefully, I’ll get some chances to express how I’m playing at the moment – and show the world that I’m capable of scoring runs anywhere.” .
Representing SRH in IPL 2023 will not only give Harry a glimpse into the bigger picture but will also give him a chance to spend time in the nets with legends Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan and Dale Steyn as all three are on the coaching staff for Sunrisers.
“Brian Lara is a legend of the game… loved watching him when I was a kid,” he added.

“I am very fortunate to be in this Test team,” Brook said.
“The way we’re trying to play, the positive brand of cricket we’re trying to play to entertain the crowd – it really suits my game more than any other game.”
