Uncapped England Test prospect "ready" to make his debut after Kevin Pietersen praise

Harry Brook is "ready" to make his England Test debut, Yorkshire assistant coach Alistair Maiden has declared.

Brook has been in excellent form for Yorkshire this season, with the 23-year-old currently the leading run scorer in division one of the County Championship. He has scored 635 runs at an average of 158.75 in six innings, making three hundreds and three half-centuries.

As a result, Brook has been tipped to play Test cricket for England this summer, with a spot at number five up for grabs after captain Ben Stokes confirmed he would be moving down to number six. And former England captain Kevin Pietersen is among those calling for Brook to make his debut, praising his "brilliant start to the summer".
