England team batsman Harry Brook will not be seen playing IPL 2025. In fact, Brook has decided to withdraw from the tournament before the new season of IPL. Harry Brook has decided to withdraw from the IPL, citing personal reasons and showing their commitment with the national team. However, they will also have to suffer the result and they will be banned from the next two seasons.
Brook was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 6.25 crore in the mega auction held in November. This is the second time in a row when Brook has withdrawn his name from the IPL and now he is under threat of ban from competition. According to the new rule launched by the IPL, no player who registers himself in the player auction and does not provide themselves before the start of the season after being selected in the auction. He will be banned for 2 seasons by participating in the tournament and player auction. However, there is a discount in this rule that there will be no restriction from the player being out due to injury or medical condition.
However, Brook said in a statement on his social media account that, this is a really important time for England cricket and I want to be fully committed to the preparation of the upcoming series. To do this, I need time to recharge after the busiest round of my career so far. I know that not everyone will understand it and I do not expect it from them but I have to do what I feel right. Playing for your country will remain my priority and focus. Last season Brook was left from the tournament due to the death of a loved one. In the same IPL season 2023, Sunrisers played for Hyderabad, in which he did not do much in addition to a century.
