Before IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals team was celebrating the return of its captain Rishabh Pant. The team suffered a big shock on Wednesday. In the auction held for IPL 17, the team bought England batsman Harry Brook for Rs 4 crore. Brook has withdrawn his name from the upcoming season of IPL. Before this, Harry Brook had not even participated in the five-match Test series against India. After withdrawing his name, the franchise is now looking for his replacement.
Harry Brook has withdrawn from IPL
Harry Brook also withdrew his name at the last moment before the Test series against India citing family reasons. This information was given by the England Cricket Board at that time. The board asked everyone to maintain confidentiality regarding Brooke and her family. Now he has also withdrawn his name from IPL. The name of a player's replacement was also discussed on social media. Many people are also discussing the name of Sarfaraz Khan.
Officer's appeal to BCCI
“Once a player registers for the auction and is sold in the auction, he must honor the contract,” the official was quoted as saying. It is very unprofessional to withdraw your name from there or not honor the contract. BCCI should look into this matter. Before this, many England players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Jonny Bairstow have also done this.
Will Sarfaraz Khan's fate change?
Let us tell you that since the debut of Sarfaraz Khan, there has been a lot of discussion about his playing in IPL. However, no franchise bought Sarfaraz in the auction. Now his former franchise Delhi Capitals can bet on him. It is noteworthy that Sarfaraz was a part of the team last season but his performance was not special and hence the franchise did not retain him. Now speculations are being made whether Delhi Capitals team can once again bet on Sarfaraz.
SRH drops Brook after IPL 2023
Harry Brook was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of IPL 2023 for Rs. Bought at a huge price of Rs 13.25 crore. But his performance throughout the season was nothing special. He definitely scored a century but apart from that he proved to be a flop. He scored 190 runs in 11 innings at an average of just 21. 100 runs was his best score.
