In exciting news for England cricket fans, Harry Brook has been added to the final 15-man squad for the upcoming World Cup, replacing Jason Roy who has been struggling with back spasms.
Despite only scoring 37 runs over three matches in the recent ODI series against New Zealand, Brook has proven his worth at the international level over the past year.
Roy, who played a pivotal role in England’s 2019 World Cup victory, has unfortunately been left out of the squad due to his lack of recent play and fitness concerns.
Commenting on the selection process, England selector Luke Wright expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to win the tournament, citing the team’s strong performances against New Zealand.

While it was a tough decision to leave out top-notch players like Roy, Wright believes that the group of white-ball players chosen for the squad is incredibly strong and capable of delivering a victory for England.
The squad, which includes Test captain Ben Stokes and eight members of the 2019 World Cup-winning team, will also feature first-time World Cup player Gus Atkinson, who made his ODI debut earlier this month.
Unfortunately, Jofra Archer will be absent from the squad as he continues to recover from a stress fracture in his elbow.
Overall, England fans can look forward to an exciting and competitive World Cup campaign from their team.
