Ollie Pope has backed his former team mate Harry Brook to make a huge success of Test cricket ahead of his debut on Thursday.
Brook is set to replace fellow Yorkshireman Jonny Bairstow in the England side for the third and final Test against South Africa at the Oval. And having shared a dressing room in the England U19s together, Pope is under no doubt that Brook has got the talent and technique to thrive in South London.
“Harry is a seriously good player,” said Pope. “I've been on England U19s tours with Harry and he's obviously been in ridiculous form this season. I think he's averaged over 100 in the championship and he's 100 percent got the game to take that into Test cricket.
