“Harry Brook is an upcoming important multi-format player for England, so the ECB have withdrawn him from the tournament to manage his workload. We are disappointed to not have him for the first season of SA20,” said KS Viswanathan, Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited CEO.
Brook was bought for R 2.10 million by the franchise at the auction earlier this year in Cape Town. The 23-year-old played the T20 World Cup and the three Tests against Pakistan recently. He will also feature in the three-match ODIs, scheduled between the SA20. The three ODIs will be played on January 27, 29 and February 1.
While it is JSK’s loss, it is clearly Sunrisers Hyderabad’s gain. The 2016 champions broke the bank with a massive INR 13.25 crore purchase of the England star. The SA20 withdrawal is unlikely to affect his IPL stint, with Brook expected to feature for the entire series.
