4. Harry Brook

2024 Stats: Matches: 12; Runs: 1100; Average: 58.49

It's been a thrill to see Harry Brook live up to fanatics' expectations this year, as his form has propelled him to the top of the International Cricket Council's Test batting rankings. He skipped the India tour for personal reasons. Still, he used the opportunity to get in condition for the upcoming season.

He displayed his calibre with four triple-digit figures, including the first triple century by an Englishman in more than three decades. The following year's series between India and Australia will determine whether he is the apt fit for the English top-order and how he can be a well-fit face for the team's future.
