Harry Brook will play World Cup
Harry Brook has been included in the team in place of Jason Roy. There was a lot of uproar over explosive middle-order batsman Brook not being included in the World Cup team. Jason Roy missed the four-match series against New Zealand this month due to a back injury, raising doubts about his selection. However, Brook’s ODI career has not been anything special. In 6 matches, he has scored 123 runs at an average of 20 and strike rate of 80. In this, only one inning is of 80 runs.

The team will face New Zealand on October 5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
