Harry Brook, who was acquired by Delhi Capitals for ₹6.25 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, pulled out of the tournament. This decision has sparked widespread criticism. It is worth noting that this is the second consecutive year that Brook has opted out after being bought by a franchise at the auction.
Brook withdrew from IPL 2024 just days before the tournament, citing personal reasons. He has now been handed a two-year ban. As per IPL rules, players who withdraw after being picked in the auction shall be banned for two years unless there are injury concerns officially confirmed by their national board.
What Did Harry Brook Get Bought For? - Michael Clarke
"What did Harry Brook get bought for? Imagine he's on a full contract with the ECB and he's been banned now. Because this is what happens as well. A lot of players go into the auction, they don't get picked up for the amount they would like and then they pull out. The IPL says if you pull out, you get an automatic two-year-ban," Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast.
Harry Brook Is the First Player to Do That - Michael Clarke
"It sounds like Harry Brook is the first player to do that but I understand why the IPL would do that. Every player would like more money but once you go into that auction and you're bought you've got to respect that and understand that you can't just pull out because you haven't been paid the amount that you want," Clarke added.
