Karachi, Multan, Rawalpindi… Pakistan will not be able to forget its thrashing last month on these three grounds for a long time. In the past, England batsman Harry Brook had thrashed Pakistani bowlers on these three grounds. He scored 111 runs in Karachi, 108 runs in Multan and 153 and 87 runs in Rawalpindi. Brook’s bat had sparked fire in Pakistan, which ruined every single strategy of Pakistani bowlers. Now the ICC has honored him in return for this feat. On the basis of Brook, England registered a historic victory in the Test series in Pakistan last month.
After this, even in the IPL auction, a lot of money was showered on Brook. Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for Rs 13.25 crore. Now on Tuesday, the ICC selected the best male player of the month for the first time.
