I want to play every Test match I can for England: Harry Brook
One of England's centurions from the second Test, Harry Brook scored 109 in 132 balls with 13 fours and turned the game for his side. After the game, Brook spoke about his immediate career goals. Brook said, "I want to play every Test match I can for England. I don't want to think too far ahead."
"The Ashes is a long way away and we have a lot of Test cricket before then. My main focus is to stay in the moment and not get ahead of myself. There will be conversations with [Rob Key] and the head coaches but Test cricket is probably at the top of my list at the minute," he added.
