Early life

Brook was born in Airedale but raised in Burley in Wharfedale. He was educated at Ilkley Grammar School, a comprehensive school in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. At the age of 14, he left having been offered a scholarship at Sedbergh School, an independent boarding school in Cumbria.[2][4][5] Journalist Alex Mason reported for the Cricketer Magazine that former professional cricketer and Sedbergh School cricket coach Martin Speight was a very big influence on Brook's career during his schooldays.[6]

His debut followed a series of three centuries scored within a fortnight for Yorkshire's second eleven.[8] At international level, Brook toured India in early 2017 with the England under-19s, playing in two U-19 Tests and five U-19 LOIs against the India under-19s.[9][10]
