After two World Cup campaigns with very different results and a difficult start in person, the thinner and more focused Harry Brooke goes to this last campaign for worldwide fame, believing that England has the power to return the Cup home..
This would certainly change the story of the end of last year in India, where Jos Buttler successfully defended his team title 50 times. Brooke, who brought back his first Winter T2022 World Cup on the England team in 23-20, has this diagnosis of invisibility and with it clarity on how things should change over the next four weeks.

“We offer our luck,” Brooke said before England began preparing for their first Group B match with Scotland on Tuesday at the three-year-old Oval north of Bridgetown. “We have a very good team; good atmosphere in T20 cricket. We are sure that we will be able to return him home.”
When asked what should change compared to the World Cup over 50, the striker replied:”[We] should be a little more relaxed; probably a group and personally to stay a little longer in the present moment. “At the time, we were not in a big space. The way we started was not good either. It was not the best competition to participate””
The weather in Barbados is unstable – indeed the end of the tourist season – but the prospect of England looks much superior. If India was an example of losing touch with cricket rhythms over the age of 50, Brooke insists that this cannot be said for Twenty-20, given its status as the dominant format of cue ball play these days.
On a personal level, this season – with a foreign tour in June – is a turnaround for Brooke, who missed the Indian test tour that ended in March due to the gone of her grandmother Pauli, a big supporter of cricket. when you grow up. At one point, the last three matches of this 4-1 loss were targeted, but events dictated otherwise.
“At that time, trying to spend as much time as possible with my grandmother was the right choice, and I don’t contrition a minute,” she said. “I had a few conversations with [Test captain Ben Stokes] and he essentially said,” no matter what happens, family is the most important thing, and if anything happens, you’ll contrition going back to playing cricket.’”
As for cricket, Brooke made her first significant break in her career in England, improving her body fitness and, although she was not in good shape until then, she looks surprisingly slim. Some players tense up to increase their strength, but Brooke took a different path to strengthen other aspects of his game, having a natural ability to reduce tension over time.
“Obviously it wasn’t in good conditions, but I tried to train as best I could; I’m trying to lose a little weight and get a little slimmer,”she said. “Hitting in in the middle of, running in pairs will be something quite important for my game. Also in the field. For the last 12-18 months I tried to run faster”
