England's cricketer, Harry Brook, has demonstrated his commitment to representing his country across all three formats. The 24-year-old expressed his readiness to enter into a multi-year contract with the England Cricket Board (ECB), a move likely driven by the increasing popularity of global T20 leagues. It has been rumoured that Jos Buttler, the white-ball captain, and Jofra Archer have received offers for full-time contracts from IPL teams, encouraging their participation in various T20 leagues such as ILT20, SAT20, and MLC. In an interview, Brook stated that he is not interested in franchise cricket distractions, as his primary focus lies in playing for England in all three formats.

He acknowledged his past participation in leagues like the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Big Bash League (BBL), and the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a substantial amount. Brook clarified that he intends to continue playing in the IPL due to its availability and the participation of top players from various countries. Nevertheless, his ultimate goal is to prioritize representing England in international cricket. The highly-talented Harry Brook has already represented England in 11 Tests, three ODIs, and 20 T20Is, showcasing his potential as a cricketer. Regarding the Ashes series, Brook emphasized that the team is fully focused on winning the upcoming fifth Test to level the series 2-2 and maintain their unbeaten home record in the Ashes since 2001.

He acknowledged the disappointment caused by rain affecting the fourth Test but asserted that the team has moved on and is entirely concentrated on the forthcoming match. Throughout the Ashes series, Brook has been in impressive form, amassing 271 runs in four Tests at an average of 38.71, including three half-centuries. Notably, he achieved the distinction of being the fastest player to reach 1,000 Test runs in terms of balls faced (1058) during this ongoing series. The fifth and final Ashes Test is scheduled to take place at Kennington Oval in London from Thursday, July 27 to 31, 2023.
