Saqib's aim to get one over on skipper Brook

|August 30, 2025
SAQIB Mahmood is determined to help Oval Invincibles win a third consecutive Hundred title and knows potential success against England white-ball captain Harry Brook will only boost his T20 hopes.
The Invincibles are already in Sunday’s showpiece at Lord’s after they topped the group stage and will watch on eagerly as Brook's Northern Superchargers face Trent Rockets with inform Joe Root - in Saturday’s eliminator.
Lancashire quick Mahmood has enjoyed a strong 12 months after a player of the match display in last year’s Hundred final forced him back into England reckoning following an injury-hit two years.
Mahmood featured in three ODIs against the West Indies under Yorkshire batter Brook earlier this summer but had a watching brief for the T20s - yet knows how to improve his chances after being included in next month's white-ball squad for series with South Africa and Ireland.
"It does almost bring you up a gear when you starting bowling against better batters and Brooky is right up there,” Mahmood told the PA news agency.
