Harry Brook Becomes First Full-Member Captain with Multiple T20I Centuries in a Year
England captain Harry Brook became the first player from a full-member cricket team to score multiple T20 International centuries in a calendar year, achieving this feat in 2026. He scored his maiden T20I century as captain against Pakistan during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup and followed it with an unbeaten 114 against Sri Lanka. Previously, only two captains from ICC Associate Member teams had multiple T20I hundreds in a year. Brook tops England captains in T20I runs for 2026, with 634 runs in 17 matches.
