England batter Harry Brook has withdrawn from the IPL 2025 in order to focus on international cricket. He was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 6.25 Crore in the mega auction in November. As of now, Delhi Capitals have not announced a replacement for him.  

Harry Brook has been banned from the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the next two years. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reportedly took the decision after Brook made a last-minute call to pull out from the upcoming IPL 2025 season.

As per the BCCI's new policy, Brook cannot enter the auction for two more years, as he has decided to skip IPL 2025 at the last moment.

"Any player who registers in the auction and after getting picked, makes himself unavailable before the start of the season, will get banned from participating in the tournament and player auction for 2 seasons," a new rule introduced by the IPL, said.
