# Harry Brook hints at IPL return after two-year ban 2026-08-13T19:02:08+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Harry Brook, the England white-ball captain currently serving a two-year IPL ban, has said he will think about playing in the tournament again. Speaking to Cricinfo during The Hundred, Brook called the IPL a big competition and a valuable experience for any player. But he stressed that his priority remains England. Brook was banned after pulling out of IPL 2025 despite being bought for Rs 6.25 crore by Delhi Capitals, citing international commitments. He had earlier played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and scored a century in the IPL. Brook's ban runs until at least 2027, though some reports suggest he could return after 2028. The England batter previously said representing his country was more important than franchise cricket. He now appears open to returning once the ban ends, but only after his England duties allow. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - sports.ndtv.com Tags: England cricket, franchise cricket, Harry Brook, IPL, IPL ban Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/harry-brook-open-to-ipl-return-after-two-year-ban/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
