Hungry to be back

After an excellent start to his first-team career, the older Brookes brother has suffered a couple of years of injury frustration. The good news is that he is back in the mix and hungrier than ever for first-team cricket.

Solihull-born, and a product of the Edgbaston system, Henry had already impressed for England Under 19s when he was given his championship bow in 2017.

In 2018 he took brilliantly to sustained first-class cricket, showing the skill and temperament needed, along with a desire to excel for the Bears which endeared him to all the fans.

“Henry made a big impact across all three formats and demonstrated why he is being talked about as one of the most exciting, young fast bowlers the game. He has a huge future ahead of him with Warwickshire.”

Paul Farbrace
Sport Director

The following year, with the seam department ravaged by injuries, Henry stood tall, delivering nearly 400 overs in all cricket, a display of sustained strength and excellence which earned a Lions call-up in the winter.

Then came those injuries and, while the Bears charged to the championship title last year, Henry was agonisingly kept out of the fray by a double injury blow.

In 2022, however, he is a man on a mission to make up for lost time.
