Harry Brook has been outstanding for England in the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, making scores of 153 and 87 in what is just his second and third Test innings.
The 23-year-old is viewed as a potentially generational talent by England, who could play a key role in all three formats for many years to come. And Brook has already earned plenty of plaudits for his exploits in Rawalpindi, with former England batter Mark Butcher saying there is "a touch of genius about him" and England's assistant coach Paul Collingwood dubbing him "the powerful Joe Root ".
"I remember during the T20 series [against Pakistan], I was hesitant in using the word, but I did in the end - there is a touch of genius about him," Butcher said on Sky Sports. "There were some strokes in that series where he ran down, hitting against the spin, over extra cover - like 20 metres over the boundary for six - and you just think they are shots of rare, rare quality and power.
