New skipper Harry Brook promises full focus on England after IPL withdrawal

In a recent interview, Brook emphasized his commitment to international cricket, expressing a clear preference for representing his country over participating in franchise leagues.

However, Brook would welcome a Stokes comeback to the shorter forms should a packed itinerary allow for it.

The right-handed batter was slated to represent Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 after being picked up at the mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Brook's appointment comes at a crucial time, with England eyeing a turnaround ahead of the T20 World Cup in February next year, set to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
