England's white-ball captain Harry Brook has thrown his support behind fellow Northern Superchargers stars Zak Crawley and Jordan Cox, praising their recent performances in The Hundred tournament. Brook urged both batters to carry on with the momentum in order to earn their places in England’s ODI and T20I squads. Brook highlighted the consistency and calibre demonstrated by both batters in the Hundred.

"You've just got to keep on doing it, and be as consistent as you can for a long period of time, it's good to have competition (for places)," Brook said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.

"Everybody's in the mix: whoever does well. He [Crawley] obviously has the attributes that we're talking about: putting pressure on the bowlers with their good and bad balls; he can manipulate the field really well; he's good against fast bowling and he's good against spin. He's got all the attributes to play white-ball [cricket] for England."

"It's the same with everybody. Everybody's been talking about Jordan Cox: he's obviously an unbelievable player. You've just got to keep on doing it, and be as consistent as you can for a long period of time, it's good to have competition (for places)."

Zak Crawley, who has played eight ODIs, is uncapped in T20Is. While Jordan Cox, having played three ODIs and two T20Is, has not been in the scheme of things lately.
