Harry Brook and Matt Parkinson have been given permission to return to their respective counties for this week’s T20 Blast fixtures.

The former will be available for Yorkshire’s clash with Notts Outlaws on June 6 while Parkinson could turn out for Lancashire against Leicestershire on June 7.

Brook was left out of England’s XI for the first Test against New Zealand but did take to the field on several occasions as a substitute fielder.

He was released by England on day two ahead of Yorkshire’s clash with Durham before returning to the camp the following day.

Brook has made four appearances for Yorkshire in the T20 Blast, scoring 165 runs, including two half-centuries, at a strike rate of 166.66.

Parkinson, meanwhile, travelled down to Lord’s on Thursday as an injury replacement for spinner Jack Leach, who was ruled out of the match with concussion.

The Lancashire bowler made his Test debut against New Zealand, picking up the wicket of Tim Southee and finishing with figures of 1 for 47.

In his four Blast appearances for Lancashire in 2022, Parkinson has taken three wickets.

Both players have been included in England’s squad for the second Test, which is scheduled to start on Friday, June 10 at Trent Bridge.
