But he admits he is feeling short of cricket after just two competitive matches in 17 days thanks to the tournament format and the washout with Australia.

And after some stern words from skipper Jos Buttler who railed against his team’s complacency, the onus is on the batters to get the job done properly on Tuesday night.
“The game against Ireland was obviously not great,” admitted Brook who made 18 from 21 balls. “Personally, I wasn’t very good either. I didn’t play the way I want to play my T20 cricket. I was a little bit in my shell.
