Before the England Cricket team announced their provisional squad for the ODI World Cup 2023, fans got disappointed not seeing the name of Harry Brook in the list. Now England’s white-ball cricket captain Jos Buttler has said that Harry Brook is one of the talents of the country and he does not need to prove his calibre to anyone.

Brook did not make into the squad as all-rounder Ben Stokes’ decision to come out of retirement and participate in the World Cup came from the ECB. Despite having participated in just three ODIs for the England team, Brook has played a notable role in Test and T20I matches, gathering 86 runs in his limited ODI career.

The exclusion of Brook from the squad has generated backlash from different experts, including former cricketer Mark Butcher.

Buttler said that it was so unfortunate to miss Harry Brook. He stated,”I don’t think he has a point. We all know what a fantastic player he is. He’s not missed out because he’s not at the moment. Yeah, he’s a top player, fully expect him to play really well, and that’s why he’s here. He’s a really good player. He’s unfortunate to miss out on selection at this stage, and that’s set up for a long time. We’ve got a lot of depth and talent and I think the young players are coming through and pushing part of the team actually for the last few years, So it’s natural that good players miss out. That’s what happens in good teams.”
