MUMBAI: All-rounder Will Jacks said on Friday that under-fire England T20 World Cup captain Harry Brook had “100 percent” support from the players after going through a “tough time”.

Brook, in charge at a global tournament for the first time, has recently been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

He last month had to apologise for being involved in an altercation with a nightclub bouncer during England’s white-ball tour of New Zealand last year, something that had been a “terrible mistake”.

Jacks has been close to Brook since they were room-mates with England U-19s.

“Obviously, it’s been a tough time and that’s been well documented in the media,” Jacks told reporters in Mumbai.

“I wasn’t actually in New Zealand, so I didn’t know anything about it. He’s obviously made the wrong decision, but he’s accepted that. He’s obviously making amends on the pitch, and we all back him 100%”
