England star Harry Brook says he is now a stronger and more powerful ball striker and hopes to "dominate" a massive 2023 that includes both a home Ashes series and a 50-over World Cup.
Brook enjoyed a dream 2022, making his England debut, winning the T20 World Cup and being named ICC player of the month for December after smashing three consecutive Test centuries in a historic series whitewash of Pakistan. And having started 2023 by making his ODI debut against South Africa, Brook feels confident this year will be better than the last.
