Harry Brook's former coach details transformation from "fusilli pasta" to England star

Harry Brook's former coach Martin Speight has opened up about the England star's rise to the top, having played a huge role in his success.

Speight, a former wicketkeeper at Durham and Sussex, is now head of cricket at Sedbergh School and has worked closely with Brook ever since. In fact, the pair are so close that Brook's Yorkshire teammate Adam Lyth has even claimed that "Speighty probably knows his game as well as Harry does".

And in an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Speight detailed the changes Brook has made to his technique since they first started working together, with the most important change the introduction of a trigger movement after Brook ended up looking "like a piece of fusilli pasta".
