Michael Clarke supported the Crown Crown control Committee in India (BCCI) in his decision to impose a two -year ban on Harry Brook after the English dough withdrew from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Former Australian captain believes that BCCI’s position will set a precedent for the future.
Harry Brook, which Delhi Capitals gained for 6.25 crowns at the IPL 2025 auction, pulled himself off the tournament. This decision caused broad criticism. It is worth noting that this is the second consecutive year that Brook has given up after being bought by a franchise at auction.
Harry Brook banned for two years with IPL after skipping the 2025 season
Brook played only in the IPL 2023 season. After Sunrizers Hyderabad (SRH) bought it for 13.25 crowns. He had a disappointing campaign, scoring only 190 rides in 11 games. The best performance of the right hand came against Kolkat Knight Riders (KKR), where he scored a century of 55 balls.
Brook retired from the IPL 2024 just days before the tournament, stating personal reasons. He was now handed a two -year ban. According to IPL rules, players who withdraw after being selected will be banned for two years, unless their national committee officially confirms concerns for injuries.
What did Harry Brook bought for? – Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke supported the BCCI decision to impose a two-year ban on Broko. Clarke said some players are auctioned, but that they decide to withdraw, dissatisfied with their offer. He noted that IPL had a strict rule that would conduct an automatic two -year ban on players.
“Why did Harry Brook bought? Imagine being fully with the ECB and is now forbidden. Since this is happening and what is happening. Many players are auctioned, they don’t pick up for the quantity they want and then retire. IPL says if you get an automatic two-year-old,” Clarke. “
Harry Brook is the first player to do this – Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke said Brook would be the first player to face a two -year IPL ban in accordance with the rule. He stated that each player wants a larger offer, but they must respect the auction process. Clarke added that the players could not withdraw because they were dissatisfied with the amount they received.
“It sounds like Harry Brook is the first player to do it, but I understand why IPL would do it. Each player would like more money, but once you get in that auction and buy it, you have to respect it and understand that you cannot simply get out because you have not paid the amount you want,” Clarke added.
Delhi Capitals have not yet announced a replacement for Brook on the eve of the IPL 2025, which begins on March 22. The franchise confirmed to Axar Patel as her captain for the season. DC will start their campaign against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on March 24 in Vishakhapatnam.
