England's young batter has another opportunity to prove his case for inclusion in the 15-man squad for the World Cup, following his inclusion in the four-match ODI series against New Zealand. Since Brook got snubbed from England's ODI World Cup squad, he has shown his worth in The Hundred scoring an unbeaten century and hitting 43* and 67 in their first two T20Is against the Kiwis. If he continues to replicate his recent performances, the likes of Jason Roy, Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone will be a bit worried about their position in the team.

England debutant Brydon Carse took three wickets to set up a seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the T20I series opener at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday. The 28-year-old South Africa-born paceman, in for the injured John Turner, returned fine figures of 3-23 from his maximum four overs as New Zealand were held to a modest 139-9. Left-arm quick Luke Wood also took three wickets, following an expensive first over of the match that saw him hit for three sixes, on his way to 3-37.
Rewinding his thoughts to Alex Carey's controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow during the recent Ashes, Australian captain Pat Cummins said the whole episode prompted fans to get actively involve in Test cricket. During Day 5 of the second Test at Lord's, England's Bairstow had dodged a bouncer from pacer Cameron Green and inadvertently walked out of the crease, and Carey hit the stumps at Bairstow's end. The on-field umpires, Ahsan Raza and Chris Gaffaney, went upstairs, and TV umpire Marais Erasmus declared the Englishman out.
England Test captain Ben Stokes reversed his decision to retire from One-Day Internationals ahead of the Three Lions' defence of their 50-over men's World Cup title in India later this year. Stokes, who retired from ODIs last year citing workload management, played a crucial part in England's first 50-over World Cup triumph, including a match-winning knock in the final against New Zealand, in 2019. With speculations growing regarding his ODI return, England confirmed that Stokes will take part at the marquee event in India.
