Saqib's aim to get one over on Brook
The Journal
|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 tomorrow’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 said.
