Root Comments on Brook's Intelligence, Stirring Debate

Joe Root, a senior cricketer, said Harry Brook is not always the most intelligent away from cricket, but he's very good at the game.

This started a conversation about what it means to be intelligent.

Is it only about book smarts or also about being good at sports and managing social media?

Root points out the mental agility needed in cricket is a unique kind of intelligence.
