Jan 28 (Reuters) - Joe Root said ‌he hopes England captain Harry Brook's WWE-inspired celebration after a blistering century against ‌Sri Lanka on Tuesday will not be misinterpreted, as he attempts to rebuild ‌trust following last year's nightclub incident.

Brook smashed 136 off just 66 deliveries, bringing up his ton in 57 balls before celebrating by removing his gloves and smashing them together, mimicking former WWE wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's ‍signature beer can celebration in the ring.
