<p>Harry Brook, the emerging star in England’s batting ranks, will miss the whole five-match Test series against India starting in Hyderabad on January 25. The England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement on Sunday that the Delhi Capitals hitter would return home “with immediate effect for personal reasons.”</p>

<p>Harry Brook, who was playing for England in the Men’s Test series against India, is expected to come home immediately for personal reasons. He’s not going back to India. With all due respect, the Brook family begs for privacy at this time. Given this, the family and the ECB respectfully ask that the public and media respect their right to privacy and abstain from invading their personal space, according to the statement.</p>
<p>Brook was a member of the England team that trained in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), simulating the sub-continental climate under Ben Stokes’ leadership. On Sunday, January 21, the squad is scheduled to arrive in Hyderabad, the city that will host the series’ first game. Conversely, it was stated that the Indian team had reached the city on Saturday.</p>
<p>Although the ECB has not yet revealed who will replace Brook in the Test team, England will suffer greatly without him. The 24-year-old has been an important member of the Baseball team after making his Test debut in September 2022. With just 12 games played, his 1181 lifetime runs are the highest total of any England hitter at that time. There are four hundred and seventy-five in the list. In only his second Test series in Pakistan, he amassed 468 runs in three matches, including three centuries. Because of his success, Stokes has dubbed him the world cricket’s next Virat Kohli.</p>
<p>But in the Ashes last year, at home against a deadly Australian attack, Brook had suffered an unusual series in which he averaged forty in nine innings and four fifties – one of them a vital seventy-five in a run chase in Leeds, the other a 61-ball knock in Manchester that he acknowledged was not proud of, and the third a 91-ball eighty-five at the Oval. While batting at Headingley, Brook made history by being the quickest batter to score 1000 runs in Test cricket history. He did it in only 17 innings and 1058 deliveries.</p>
