Kevin Pietersen took the fact that Harry Brook skipped the 2025 Indian Premier League season to focus on his duties with the English national team. When he talked about Espncricinfo, Pietersen said Brook could use his time in the IPL to work on his spin technique.
Young Harry Brook pulled from the IPL to concentrate on his cricket with the side of England. Brook was appointed captain of the White Ball teams after Jos Buttler decided to withdraw from his role. The young dough now faces a two -year ban on the Indian Premier League for pulling out after being purchased at the auction table.
Brook was ready to play on the side of Delhi Capitals, which did exceptionally well this season. Pietersen said in an interview that Brook had great shortcomings in his spin technique he could work this season.
“He has technical shortcomings on the subcontinent, especially in India. I really wanted to work with him, but people make their own decisions in my life and you have to respect them. It has a defect of rotation in India – a real big mistake. For two months, imagine what could happen,” Kevin Pietersen said.
The young man from England side is expected to be captured at the World Cup T20 2026, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka. Brook was unhappy with the bat during visits to India. The dough played only one season in the Indian Premier League and its 11 trips scored 190. Brook hit one century against Kalkata Knight riders in Eden Gardens, but failed in the rest of his matches.
Pietersen revealed that he worked on Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow batting against rotation soon in their career. Root and BairStow are usually known as the best English players against Spin in their generation.
“At the beginning of their career, I would work with him as with (Joe) Root and (Jonny) Bairstow. Root proved to be Spin England.
In the absence of Harry Brook, Delhi Capitals put the role of the middle order of Kl Rahul, which was sensational throughout the IPL 2025. 371 runs from just 9 matches at a strike of 146 scored.
