The exciting time of the Indian summer is just a few days away as the IPL is all set to arrive with another thrilling season. Before stepping into the tournament, teams are gearing up, aiming for a successful outing.

Before the season even began, Delhi Capitals suffered a blow as English batter Harry Brook withdrew from the IPL. Adding to this, he now risks a two-year ban under league rules.

Harry Brook Pulls Out Of The IPL 2025

Cricket fans are all excited as the eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League raises its curtains on March 22. With just a few days left for the tournament, fans can’t keep calm. But even before the tournament started, Delhi Capitals faced a massive setback as English star Harry Brook made himself unavailable for the upcoming season.

Delhi Capitals made a bold move in the 2025 IPL mega-auction, securing Harry Brook for 6.25 crore. However, uncertainty looms as neither the franchise nor the batter has made an official statement. Reports suggest that the ECB has already informed the BCCI about his unavailability.

After missing out on the previous season, he will also miss the upcoming IPL 2025. In the last year, Harry Brook pulled out of the tournament just 10 days before, after losing his grandmother. As the new season is looming soon, the batter will be out of the tournament once again.

Will He Face A Two-Year Ban?

Now, Harry Brook is set to miss the second consecutive IPL season. Before the 2025 mega-auction, the IPL governing body introduced new rules, including one that could impact players who skip multiple seasons. This puts Brook’s IPL future at risk.

“Any [overseas] player who registers for [an] auction and, after getting picked at the auction, makes himself unavailable before the start of the season will get banned from participating in the IPL/IPL auction for two seasons,” the rule says.

As per the rules, if any player faces any injury concern or any medical concerns, he will be out of this rule. But it seems like Brook is not under this exceptional and he may face a two-year ban from the cash-rich league. Nothing is confirmed yet, but fans are waiting to see the final outcome.
