Henry Brookes' Injury: Middlesex Loanee Heads Home

0:00On April 28, Henry Brooks, the 26-year-old seamer for Middlesex, has ended his loan at Gloucestershire early because of a hamstring. Injury, he signed off for just five games in Division 2, but got hurt while bowling in their 10-wicked thrashing of Derby Shire last match. That injury came right after he played twice with the Gladiators this season. In his debut against Lancashire, he snagged one-wicked in a loss, showing some promise on return. His standout moment was smashing a career-best 89 runs from No. 9 at Derby. That knock helped Gloucestershire grab their first red ball win there since 2019, a real highlight before the setback hit. Now, he's heading back to Middlesex for rehab and will miss their home-county championship clashes with Kent and Northampton Shire. It's a blow for Glouc, who lose that bowling firepower, just as they build momentum. Gloucestershire thanked Henry for his grit and commitment on their sight, sending best wishes for a quick recovery. Expect him patched up and firing again soon at his parent club.
