Harry Brook performs a cheeky cartwheel flip before the match
The moment took place before the match as Northern Superchargers players were getting ready to take the field. Brook added a unique twist to his warm-up routine with a full stretched cartwheel. Captured in a video by SkyCricket he was seen in a purple kit chatting with Zak Crawley before pulling off the unexpected move.
Meanwhile, presenter Lydia Greenway and England legend Eoin Morgan shared a light-hearted conversation about Brook’s flip. Lydia joked, “It’s clearly a unique form of warm-up, we don’t often see cricketers doing cartwheels.” To this, Morgan replied, “He’s definitely trying to prove a point. Maybe he and Crawley had a bet. We’ve seen Rishabh Pant do similar things during celebrations, so maybe this is the next progression.”
