England skipper Brook bats off cash questions
Birmingham Mail
|April 10, 2025
HARRY Brook insists there is no amount of money on the lucrative franchise circuit that could sway him from his England commitments ahead of a crucial next few months.
The Yorkshireman sacrificed a £590,000 deal with Delhi Capitals at the ongoing Indian Premier League in a bid to keep himself fit and firing for blockbuster Test series against India and Australia this year.
With his appointment as England's new white-ball captain confirmed earlier this week, Brook has an unrelenting schedule going forwards even if, as he suggested, he could skip one or two lesser series.
But asked whether a monumental offer on the T20 domestic scene could get between him and England, Brook replied: "Definitely not at the minute. I just want to play cricket for England.
"There's a lot of cricket and I'm looking forward to all of it. I'd like to play every game but if I require a week off and that's the best thing for my game then I'm sure I'll be allowed a week off."
