England batter Harry Brook has revealed his frustration at being unnoticed of the squad for this yr’s Cricket World Cup.
Ben Stokes’ determination to return out of one-day worldwide retirement performed a key position in Brook failing to make England’s preliminary squad for the defence of its 50-over crown.
The 24-year-old has emerged as one in every of England’s brightest younger abilities, serving to it to a dramatically drawn Ashes collection in opposition to Australia not too long ago.
But England’s selectors left him out of a 15-man squad for its 4 warm-up matches with New Zealand in September.
The identical group will more than likely be chosen to attempt to retain the World Cup in India in October and November.
“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,” Brook mentioned after taking part in for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred at Lord’s.
“I’ve not had much conversation with (coach) Matthew (Mott) or (captain) Jos (Buttler). They said with Stokesy coming back I was probably going to miss out this time.
“He (Stokes) is one of the best players to ever play cricket, so I can’t really complain, can I?”
While Brook has made a flying begin to his Test profession, he has performed simply three ODI matches for England.
“I feel like I’m playing well at the minute and feel I could potentially add value to the team. There’s always something more you could do,” he mentioned.
“I haven’t had much opportunity to play one-day cricket, whether that be for Yorkshire or England and, although I’ve played a lot of T20 cricket, I don’t know I’ve done as well as I have in the past in the last six months, so that might have had an effect.”
