Harry Brook, the English cricketer, returned to play after skipping IPL 2024 and scored a fantastic hundred for Yorkshire in the Second Division County Championship. He hit his 12th first-class century against Leicestershire at Headingley. Brook’s innings helped Yorkshire reach 246 for 6 before rain stopped play, leading to a draw. He chose to skip IPL 2024 after his grandmother passed away.

Brook made a quick century in just 69 balls, scoring an unbeaten 100 with 14 boundaries and two sixes against Leicestershire. His partnership with opener Adam Lyth set Yorkshire up well, declaring at 246 for 6. However, rain interrupted the game, and Leicestershire scored 26 for no loss before it was called off.

This was Harry Brook’s first match since England’s tour of the West Indies in December 2023. He withdrew from the Test series against India due to his grandmother’s health concerns and later decided not to play in the IPL.

Delhi Capitals had signed Brook for IPL 2024 but recently announced Lizzad Williams as his replacement for Rs 40 lakh. Williams, a South African fast bowler, has represented his country in Tests, ODIs, and T20 Internationals since 2021.

Brook has impressive records in international cricket, with 1,181 runs in 12 Tests at an average of 62.15, including a top-score of 186. He has also scored 407 runs in 15 ODIs with three half-centuries and played 29 T20Is, accumulating 544 runs at a strike-rate of 144.68.
