This player can be banned for 2 years in IPL, Delhi Capitals had bought him by spending more than 3 times the money.
IPL 2025 is going to start from 22 March. But, before that, a decision on England's star player Harry Brook could lead to a 2-year ban on him. Brook was bought by Delhi Capitals in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Harry Brook entered the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore, but Delhi Capitals spent more than three times his base price to buy him. The Delhi franchise had dealt with Harry Brook for Rs 6.25 crore.
Harry Brook backs out from IPL 2025
Now the question is what step has Harry Brook taken, due to which he is about to be banned from IPL for 2 years. So this is directly related to his withdrawal from IPL 2025. The England player has decided to withdraw from the next season of IPL starting from March 22. The reason behind Brook's decision is personal. He actually wants some rest after his boring schedule of international cricket. This is the second consecutive year when Brook has withdrawn from IPL citing personal reasons.

Why can there be a ban of 2 years?
Now if the IPL organizers decide to follow the rules, then it is very possible that Harry Brook may be banned for 2 years. Before the 2025 mega auction, the IPL had issued a rule that if a player withdraws his name from the league after being bought in the auction, then he will be at risk of facing a 2-year ban.
Brooke apologized for her decision.
26-year-old Brook has apologized to Delhi Capitals and its fans for withdrawing his name at the last minute. In his statement, he said that I have taken a very difficult decision, for which I want to apologize to Delhi Capitals and its supporters.
Brook, who was also out of IPL 2024, was part of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023. There he scored 190 runs in 11 matches. Brook was bought by SRH for Rs 13.25 crore.
