Moeen Ali has backed Harry Brook to play his way into England’s World Cup squad as the 24-year-old’s Yorkshireman’s impressive performances continue to give England what he called “a great headache”.

Brook is the nation’s form batter, having banked five half-centuries in his past 10 international innings in all formats and scored 1,692 runs for his country over the past 12 months at an average of 49.76. He was also responsible for the highest men’s individual score in the Hundred this year, a 42-ball 105 for Northern Superchargers against Welsh Fire.
