Harry Brook and Aidan Marakram
There is less than 2 weeks left for IPL 2025 to begin. In such a situation, the team of Delhi Capitals has suffered a major setback. The Delhi Capitals batsman has decided not to play in the 18th season of IPL. This player is none other than English batsman Harry Brook, who will miss the second consecutive season IPL. Harry Brook has pulled out his IPL contract with the second consecutive season of Delhi Capitals. This may result in a 2 -year ban on them. Delhi Capitals included Brook in their team for Rs 6.25 crore in the IPL mega auction held in November last year.
According to ESPNCRICINFO report, ECB officials told BCCI last week about Harry Brook’s decision to retreat from IPL 2025. Now Harry Brook has shared information about the removal of the upcoming season on social media with the fans.
Forgiveness from fans of Delhi Capitals
Brook wrote on X that he has taken a very difficult decision to withdraw the name from the upcoming IPL. He apologizes unconditionally to Delhi Capitals and his fans. He likes cricket a lot. When he was young, he dreamed of playing for his country and now I am very grateful to get a chance to play my favorite game at this level.
He said that this decision was seriously considered under the guidance of the people he trusted. This is a really important time for England cricket and he wants to be fully committed to the preparation of the upcoming series. To do this, they need time to recharge themselves after the busiest round of their career so far. They know that not everyone will understand this, and he does not expect it from them, but he does what it seems right and playing for their country is their priority. He is very grateful for the opportunity and support he has received.
It may see 2 years ban
After retreating from IPL 2025, Harry Brook is now under threat of ban. The IPL had informed last year that any foreign player who registers for the auction and describes himself unavailable before the start of the season after being selected in the auction, will be banned from participating in the IPL/IPL auction for two seasons.
