Jos Buttler Offers Support To Struggling Harry Brook

England Cricket opened their Champions Trophy with a banger of an innings against Australia as the team's form broke records for the highest score in the history of the tournament. ENG side showed positive intent with the bat, but Australia was a step ahead in the game. The Jos Buttler-led English side has a chance to pull off a strong outing. The England skipper also backed up Harry Brook, who has been out of touch for a while.

"No, I do not have any concerns for Harry. Harry's one of the biggest and brightest young players in the world game. Obviously he has high expectations for himself and wants to perform well and be a match winner for the side and generally speaking, a player of that quality. The longer they do not do that the closer they are always to coming back and performing really well. We know he is an important member of the team - as I said he is one of the best young players in the world so we got full trust and confidence in him," Jos Buttler said at the pre-match press conference, as quoted by ANI.
