Rashid Latif hails England's Harry Brook as next Babar Azam or Virat Kohli

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif was impressed with England batsman Harry Brook and called him the next Babar Azam or Virat Kohli.

Harry Brook, who made his international debut a year ago, impressed with his 153 runs in the Rawalpindi Test and back-to-back tons in Multan and Karachi.

He was also bought for INR 13.35 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL auction last December.

“If you look at Brook's performance, then in the last couple of innings, he was just outstanding. He doesn't stop. He also became one of the most expensive overseas players in IPL auctions. Brook is now one of the best players in the world at the moment, among the current crop of players. He could be the next Babar Azam or Virat Kohli,” he said.

England Test skipper Ben Stokes also compared Brook to Kohli, saying he sees him as a successful player across all formats like the former India skipper.

"He's one of those rare players that you look across all formats, and you can see him being successful everywhere. It's a massive shout, but Virat Kohli is one of those guys whose technique is just so simple and works everywhere. The pressure that he puts back onto opposition is exactly what we're about," Stokes said.
