Harry Brook to Umran Malik, check players who pulled out of IPL 2025 and their replacements

1. Harry Brook - Delhi Capitals

England batter Brook withdrew from IPL 2025 to focus on his obligations to the national team. Since the league's governing council had established a rule that prohibited a player from participating in the league for two seasons if they were unavailable for reasons other than injury, he was subsequently barred from the competition for two years. After missing the 2024 IPL season, the middle-order hitter was acquired by the Delhi Capitals for Rs. 6.25 crore. There has been no replacement announced for the batter yet.

2. Brydon Carse - Sunrisers Hyderabad

After suffering a toe injury during England's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match against Australia, Carse was ruled out for the forthcoming season. Sunrisers Hyderabad purchased the all-round player in the auction last year for Rs. 1 crore, but he will not be able to fulfil his obligations. Wiaan Mulder, a South African who costs Rs. 75 lakh to join the team, has taken the 29-year-old's place.

Replacement: Wiaan Mulder
