While speaking after the Northern Superchargers vs London Spirit clash, he said that he has been trying not to think about it anymore. 

“They said with Stokesy coming back I was probably going to miss out this time.” - Harry Brook

Brook said: "Obviously it's disappointing but I can't do anything about it now. You've just got to move on. I'm trying not to think about it anymore. I've not had much conversation with Matthew or Jos . They said with Stokesy coming back I was probably going to miss out this time. He is one of the best players to ever play cricket, so I can't really complain, can I? I feel like I'm playing well at the minute and feel I could potentially add value to the team. there's always something more you could do."

The young batter also claimed that the lack of opportunity to play one-day cricket might have affected his chances. He said: "I haven't had much opportunity to play one-day cricket, whether that be for Yorkshire or England. And although I've played a lot of T20 cricket, I don't know if I've done as well as I have in the past in the last six months, so that might have had an effect." Even, the former England international, Kevin Pietersen was left surprised as while speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I'm absolutely flabbergasted that he cannot make England's World Cup squad. Flabbergasted. Because he is pure quality. I just cannot believe it."
