The Delhi Capitals (DC) narrowly missed out on a playoff spot in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) competition, securing a commendable fifth position. The franchise finished their campaign on a high, on the back of an impressive six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Jaipur. The Capitals emerged victorious in a high-voltage run-chase as Sameer Rizvi played a fighting quickfire cameo of 58 off 25 balls and remained unbeaten till the end to steer the team to a stiff target of 207 runs.

But despite kicking off their campaign with four wins on the trot, the team experienced a downward trend during the middle of the season and faced defeats in crucial fixtures, which significantly hampered their playoff chances. In a bid to revive their fortunes ahead of the upcoming season, the Capitals plan to implement a slew of changes. As many as seven players are set to be released from next year's auction as the franchise prepares to rope in some fresh faces to push their case for a maiden IPL title win.

Harry Brook and Jake Fraser McGurk are some of the big names set to be released

It is estimated that DC will enter the auction with a pursue value of INR 30 crore. Moreover, they are willing to let go of some of the big names who haven't quite performed up to their expectations. England's Harry Brook and Australia's Jake Fraser McGurk are some of the big names that the franchise is considering to axe. Furthermore, Afghanistan's Sediqullah Atal and India's Border Gavaskar Trophy warrior from the 2021-22 series, T Natarajan, are also likely to be released.

Other players that are set to be released are Mustafizur Rahman, Dushmantha Chameera, and South Africa's T20 batting icon, Faf du Plessis. While the sources say that FAF's case is still pending, the other six players are on DC's wishlist to be released prior to the next auction. The franchise will be assessing FAF's overall performance in other leagues around the world before making that call. 

Looking back at DC's recent IPL campaign, the team finished with 15 points from 14 matches, with seven wins, six losses, and one match abandoned due to rain. Despite a disappointing exit from the IPL 2025, the team demonstrated resilience and potential throughout the season. The team's ability to compete against top-tier opponents and the emergence of young talents like Sameer Rizvi offer hope for future seasons.

England crushed the West Indies and registered a thumping 3-0 series win on the back of a convincing 37-run victory at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on Tuesday. In a show of brute dominance, the batters on both sides went all guns blazing. It was certainly a painful outing for the bowlers as massive fireworks ensued and the ball travelled to all parts.  A blistering display from the English openers, Jamie Smith (60 off 26) and Ben Duckett (84 off 46), lifted England to 248—their second-highest total in T20I history. The West Indies, in response, displayed a spirited fightback. Rovman Powell (79 off 45) and Shimron Hetmyer  (26 off 8) showcased extraordinary brilliance, but the Windies fell comprehensively short of their desired target. 

England Innings

After being inserted to bat, openers Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith launched a ferocious assault on the Windies bowlers, registering a dominant 120-run stand inside just nine overs. Smith blazed his way to 60 before falling, while Duckett continued the onslaught with a scintillating 84 off 46 balls. By the halfway stage of the innings, England had reached the score of 135-1 which became their highest score in T20I cricket after 10 overs. Contributions from Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, and Jacob Bethell kept the momentum going, propelling England to the brink of the 250-run mark.

England’s batters came out all guns blazing, leaving the West Indies with few answers in the early exchanges. However, to their credit, the visitors pulled things back nicely after the halfway mark, stringing together some quiet overs and picking up key wickets to stem the flow. Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, and Sherfane Rutherford chipped in with a wicket each, while Jason Holder impressed with a tidy spell at the death.

West Indies Innings

Chasing a record 249 for a consolation win was always going to be a tough ask for the visitors. The West Indies stumbled early, losing both openers within the first five overs. While Shimron Hetmyer and Jason Holder offered brief resistance, it was Shai Hope (45) and Rovman Powell (unbeaten 79) who provided the only substantial fight. Despite their efforts, the Men in Maroon fell well short, outplayed by a disciplined and clinical English side. The English bowlers did go for a few runs but picked up timely wickets along the way, which kept them alive in the game. 

Besides, some helpful contributions from Hetmyer (26 off 8) and Holder (25 off 12) did help West Indies get close to their target but the constant fall of wickets kept pegging them back. Luke Wood led the way for England with an impressive three-wicket haul (3-41), while Rashid, Carse, Dawson, and Bethell each contributed with key breakthroughs.

England vs West Indies: Match Scorecard

England – 248/3 (20 Overs)

West Indies – 211/8 (20 Overs)

It's official! The Harry Brook Era has begun with a BANG! Under Brook's renewed leadership, England have finally managed to put an end to their dismal seven-match losing streak by thrashing West Indies left, right, and center. During the first ODI of the three-match ODI series, England pounded the visitors mercilessly and in the process, registered their biggest win in ODI cricket, by a margin of 238 runs. And by doing so, they surpassed their previous best record of the biggest wins of 232 runs, which they achieved against the Dutchmen back in 2022.

England batters displayed flashes of brilliance in the first innings, posting a colossal 400 for the loss of eight wickets. Surprisingly, no batsman made it to three figures in this game. Jacob Bethell slammed a quickfire 82 off 53 balls, whereas Ben Duckett set the tone early by scoring a well-controlled 60. Joe Root and Harry Brook were the other two English batters who made handy contributions of 58 and 57, respectively, to take England to the 400-run mark.

The West Indies' response was very brittle as the entire batting lineup succumbed under intense scoreboard pressure. They were bowled out for a shocking 162. Despite a spirited final-wicket partnership between Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales, England's disciplined bowling and sharp fielding crippled the visitors on all fronts.

Saqib Mahmood led the attack with 3 wickets for 32 runs, while Jamie Overton, despite a finger injury, claimed 3 wickets. Adil Rashid and Brydon Carse also contributed with key wickets.

A rundown of some notable records

1. England's 400-8 is the highest score achieved by the team without a single batsman registering a century.
2. Harry Brook's tally of five catches is now the most number of catches held by any fielder in an ODI innings, surpassing Woakes' tally of four.
3. England's first-innings score of 400-8 is also their second-highest score at Edgbaston. 
4. The 238-run victory is the biggest win for England in ODI cricket in terms of run margin.
5. This is also their biggest ODI win against the West Indies.
6. Overall, this is the fifth biggest win in terms of run margin ever recorded in ODI cricket. The biggest being India's 317-run victory against Sri Lanka in 2023.
7. Bethell slammed his career-best ODI score of 82 (53)

It's safe to say that a new era has begun for England Cricket, and hopefully it is the start of something really incredible. While the miseries of the 2023 ODI WC and the CT 2025 may have been washed away after the historic win, Brook and his men can't afford to lower their guard. They will need to be result-oriented and will have to work consistently enough to get themselves battle-ready for the upcoming ODI World Cup. 

The white-ball cricket season opens with a bang as England take on the West Indies in the first match of a highly anticipated three-match ODI series. The match is being played on Thursday, May 29, at Edgbaston, Birmingham, in a positive environment, promising high-intensity cricket, between two sides looking for redemption. England, with a seven-match losing streak, are looking to change their wave of losing and attempt a fresh start with their new White-Ball captain, Harry Brook. The West Indies will be buoyed by some positive light after rain leads to a draw against Ireland and will aim to restore their confidence in International cricket. 

This fixture represents an inflection point for England's one-day international campaign. Brook will lead a rejuvenated England side into action, starting with this game. Fresh, young, and energetic players like Will Jacks and Matthew Potts will give the squad new life. Experienced veterans like Joe Root and Jos Buttler will provide the knowledge and expertise to ensure the team is steady, and they need to be steady. The strengths of the valuable spinner, Adil Rashid, will help contain the West Indies's aggressive middle order. Thus, England will look to balance fresh blood with experience as it aims to regain ODI supremacy.

Conversely, the West Indies, captained by Shai Hope, are also keen to change their luck. The West Indies have struggled for consistency for so long, but the emergence of a new wave of players, namely Shamar Joseph and Matthew Forde, paired with the experience of Alzarri Joseph and Roston Chase, should help reverse their fortunes. With every match vital to qualifying for the 2027 World Cup, the West Indies players are aware of the importance of every performance. Consequently, the West Indies will be eager to begin the series with a performance that will set the tone for a return to the elite level of cricket.

The much-anticipated white-ball series between England and the West Indies is about to get underway at Edgbaston in Birmingham on May 29 at 5:30 PM IST. The three-match ODI series will span across six days and will be played in venues such as Birmingham, Cardiff, and London. The series marks a pivotal point for both teams as they look to reboot and begin preparations for the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa and Namibia. 

Speaking of the recent form of the two teams, both England and the West Indies have a point to prove. England have been winless in the ODI format for the past seven games and find themselves in a desperate situation to break the deadlock. Moreover, they have also been unsuccessful against the Men in Maroon in their last ODI tour to the Caribbean, where they went down by a margin of 1-2. 

Meanwhile, the West Indies, on the other hand, haven't tasted an incredible amount of success in this format either. In their recent white-ball tour to Ireland, the visitors could only level the series 1-1. A disastrous outing with the bat in the series opener gave Ireland a definitive advantage. Despite showing flashes of brilliance later on, the West Indies failed to clinch the series as the second ODI was washed out, thus overshadowing Carty's brilliance with the bat in the second ODI.

HARRY BROOK ERA BEGINS - Mission to 2027 ODI WC underway in full swing

The decision to appoint Brook as the white-ball captain signals a tactical shift in the team's strategy leading up to the next ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2027. After a stellar outing in the 2019 World Cup, England's performance in ICC events has hit rock bottom. The Poms were blown away in the 2023 ODI World Cup without a fight, and then came the Champions Trophy 2025 humiliation, where they lost to Afghanistan and were officially eliminated by them in the group stage. 

While not necessarily captain, Harry Brook being framed as the face of the next era implies he's central to England’s plans. As some senior players near the twilight of their careers, Brook is likely being groomed as a long-term anchor of the batting unit. Additionally, Brook’s ability to play across formats with an aggressive mindset aligns well with England’s white-ball philosophy under Eoin Morgan and beyond. This "era" tag amounts to sky-high expectations, and to justify the expectations, he'll need to convert starts and build a legacy with match-winning performances.

On the third day of the one-off Test between England and Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, Harry Brook pulled off a sensational one-handed catch to dismiss Wessly Madhevere. The remarkable effort came at a crucial moment when Madhevere and Sikandar Raza were building a steady fifth-wicket partnership. Ben Stokes, who brought himself into the attack, delivered a back-of-a-length ball that bounced more than expected. Madhevere edged it, and Brook, stationed at second slip, reacted instantly to take a stunning flying catch, leaving even Stokes and skipper Ben Stokes in disbelief.

The catch was far from easy, yet Brook managed to hold on cleanly with one hand, earning loud applause from teammates and commentators alike. Joe Root showed his delight as Brook’s brilliance helped break the key stand. The commentators couldn't stop praising the athleticism and sharp reflexes on display. Brook's fielding effort not only uplifted the team’s energy but also added to the excitement of an already competitive contest, highlighting how one moment of brilliance can change the game’s momentum.

Although the catch by Brook was the highlight of the match when England was in total control. After putting up a huge 565 for 6 declared first innings total, England's bowlers, particularly Shoaib Bashir, took advantage of the scoreboard pressure. Bashir, playing only in his second Test, took 9 wickets match haul for Zimbabwe and broke down the English innings with a six-for in the second innings. In less than three days, the test match was completed, with England winning by an innings and 45 runs.

Brook's outstanding catch came in England's Test success

While Zimbabwe suffered a heavy defeat, there were a few shining moments. Veteran Brian Bennett smashed 139 off only 97 balls in the first innings, the fastest Test century by a Zimbabwean and the highest Test score by Zimbabwe away from home. Sean Williams also added a solid 88 in the second innings, but their performance with the bat was not enough to carry the match forward into a fourth day.

The one-off test match for England was a chance to showcase bench strength and provide form going into harder assignments. The catch by Brook showed the intensive focus in the field and could prove to be useful for forging a spin in forthcoming tours, also from Bashir's bowling. This performance leaves England in high spirits as they gear up for their next series against India.

Kane Williamson is not playing in the IPL this year, but the New Zealand veteran still has a sharp eye on the future of cricket. During a recent chat on the Bombay Sport Exchange show by the Times of India, he was asked a pretty simple question: who are the next big stars of world cricket?

And as always, Kane gave a calm, thoughtful answer. He named five young players who, in his opinion, could define the next era of international cricket once the likes of himself, Kohli, Smith, and Root move on.

Here’s the list he gave, and it’s a solid mix of flair, form, and future potential:

• Yashasvi Jaiswal
• Shubman Gill
• Rachin Ravindra
• Harry Brook
• Cameron Green

Let’s take a look at why each name was cut.

Yashasvi Jaiswal – The Breakout Star from India

Yashasvi’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular. At just 22, he’s already racked up nearly 1,800 runs in Test cricket at an average above 50, and he’s done it with flair. His aggressive strokeplay and fearless attitude make him a perfect fit for modern-day cricket, but it’s his calm under pressure that truly sets him apart. He’s also part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad and looks like someone who’s just getting started. ODI debut? Still pending. But it’s only a matter of time.

Shubman Gill – The Future Captain in the Making

Shubman Gill carries the aura of a future Indian captain, mature, composed, and incredibly consistent. With a classical technique and an eye for big runs, he’s already proven himself across formats. Nearly 2,800 runs in ODIs at an average close to 60, five Test centuries, and a cool head in high-pressure situations make him one of the most complete young batters in the game today. Whether it’s the IPL or a tense Test match overseas, Gill rarely looks out of place.

Rachin Ravindra – New Zealand’s Next Big All-Rounder

A true all-format asset, Rachin Ravindra has quietly become a key figure in New Zealand’s plans. He’s already notched up over 1,000 Test runs, including a mammoth 240, and can bowl handy left-arm spin. What makes Rachin special is his adaptability. he can bat anywhere in the order, adjust to any format, and still find ways to make an impact. Kane Williamson sees in him a mirror of the dependable Kiwi spirit.

Harry Brook – England’s Bazball Poster Boy

Harry Brook is redefining what aggressive Test batting looks like. Just 24 Tests in and he’s already closing in on 2,300 runs at an outrageous average close to 60. Eight centuries. A top score of 317. And he’s just been handed England’s white-ball captaincy. Brook is bold, fearless, and thrives under pressure, a perfect match for England’s high-octane approach under the Bazball banner. If there’s one player who looks like he could rewrite Test cricket's norms, it’s Brook.

Cameron Green – Australia’s Powerhouse in Progress

Cameron Green’s numbers may not scream superstar just yet, but the potential is unmistakable. He’s an old-school Test all-rounder with modern-day power over 1,300 runs in Tests, a top score of 174 not out, and the ability to crank it up with the ball. Injuries have slowed him down a bit, but when fully fit, Green is one of the most impactful players Australia has. Think of him as the long-term engine room of Aussie cricket.

Still In the Game, Just Off the Field

Even though Kane went unsold in the last IPL auction, he’s stayed involved with the league through commentary and mentoring. He spent time at a local academy in Mumbai recently, sharing his experience with young players. When asked which shot he’d love to borrow from another batter, he smiled and picked Virat Kohli’s wristy leg-side flick. A classy choice, and a nice nod to a fellow great.

Williamson will be joining the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League later this month. After that, he’s expected back in New Zealand colours for a T20I tri-series in July featuring Zimbabwe and South Africa. Kane’s picks for the next Fab Five show he’s been watching closely and thinking ahead. These five have already made their mark, but with someone like Williamson backing them, the spotlight is only going to get brighter.

English cricket is likely to undergo captaincy changes in both shorter formats, with swashbuckling batsman Harry Brook the most probable new T20I skipper. Captain of England’s ODI team, though, could either be Brook or the one with lots of experience, Ben Stokes.

Brook to Replace in T20Is

Harry Brook is reportedly England's pick to be the new T20I captain. The 25-year-old is one of the names on the lips of English cricket fans due to his aggressive batting style and his skills displayed when the situation calls. England goes into the T20 World Cup with the appointment of Brook, which obviously means that they are looking to play with more intent and without fear.

As it is, Brook has been playing a frontline role in England's T20 team and has made an impact in the world through his various domestic and franchise performances. Awards and recognition have also been coming his way for his excellence in leadership, and because of that, he has been named as the next captain to Jos Buttler if he leaves his place eventually.

ODI Captaincy: Brook vs Stokes

While it may seem that Brook has got the T20I captaincy already, ODI captaincy is a different story. Ben Stokes is not out of the picture of becoming the ODI captain of England; he currently serves his national team in Test formats and is still determined to lead it as a senior and recognised player in his upcoming games in the World Cup and the Ashes series.

The choice of Ben Stokes as England ODI captain would still be sensible considering that he led his country to a historic World Cup victory in 2019 and contributed to the other important successes of the team in different formats. On the other hand, Stokes recently declared his retirement from ODIs, which implies doubts about him as the long-term captain. If a long-term leader is essential, Brook would be the perfect choice, ensuring that the 50-over match continues under new dynamics among players.

England’s Leadership Transition

England is in a dilemma with the future of Buttler as the limited-overs captain being unclear and Eoin Morgan still highly revered for his leadership. If they now hand the baton to Brook to lead the limited-overs format for both white-ball and red-ball, this will be where it all begins, but handing Stokes the ODI reins would provide stability and experience.

As England’s cricket board deliberates, all eyes will be on the official announcement that could shape the team’s white-ball future for years to come.

Harry Brook was purchased by the Delhi Capitals for ₹6.25 crore in a mega auction held in November 2024. He sited the need to shift focus to the England national team as the reason behind his withdrew from the IPL. In his own words: 

“I have made the very difficult decision to pull out of the upcoming IPL. I apologize unreservedly to the Delhi Capitals and their supporters.” 

He elaborated further on international duties and the need to recuperate from an extremely tough phase in his career. 

The Board in Charge of Cricket in India (BCCI) has established guidelines for these kinds of withdrawals. It is part of their policy that a foreign player who agrees to an auction, gets selected, and subsequently becomes unavailable before the commencement of the season, shall be barred from participation in either the IPL or its auctions for a two year period.

Communications have been conducted with ECB and Brook regarding BCCI's decision to impose two-year suspension on Brook, which comes under the BCCI policy. 

This is to ensure a proper commitment from players while also addressing concerns raised from franchises about players pulling out at the very last minute.

This is not the first time that Brook has pulled back from the IPL. In 2024, he opted out of the tournament because his grandmother passed away. The recent decision makes debates around Brook's future plans with the IPL and its impact on his career arguably more heated than they were before. 

It will be hard not to notice Brook's already visible support for England's cricketing prospects. The side is currently looking for a new captain after Jos Buttler decided to stand down post England's dismal showing at the Champions Trophy. Brook is in pole position to take over the captaincy and the fact that he is stepping up speaks volumes about his desire to shoulder more responsibility. 

Harry Brook has pulled out of his IPL 2025 contract with Delhi Capitals for the second year in a row, which could lead to a two-year ban. His withdrawal has raised concerns, as IPL teams are unhappy with overseas players backing out at the last minute.has pulled out of his IPL contract with Delhi Capitals for the second year in ipl, which could lead to a two-year ban from future seasons in ipl. According to ESPNcricinfo, the ECB informed the BCCI about Brook’s decision last week, and the message was passed to Delhi Capitals. The team signed him up for INR 6.25 crore in the mega auction.

There’s no official statement from the IPL, and Harry Brook hasn’t given a reason for pulling out from the ipl. However, he is one of the top choices to replace Jos Buttler as England’s captain after their early exit from the Champions Trophy 2025. Since he plays all formats and still has 18 months left on his ECB central contract, managing his workload could be a reason for his decision. The ECB has been asked for a comment.

Brook now faces the risk of a two-year IPL ban. The rule was introduced before the 2025 auction after all 10 franchises raised concerns about overseas players pulling out at the last minute.

Last September, the IPL officials said that teams that any overseas player who signs up for the auction and then pulls out after being picked will be banned from the ipl for two seasons. The only exception is if the player has an injury or medical condition, which must be confirmed by their home board.

This is the second year in a row that Harry Brook has withdrawn from the IPL at the last minute, both times from Delhi Capitals. Last March, just 10 days before their first game, he pulled out of the 2024 season to be with his family after his grandmother passed away. He had already missed England’s Test tour of India in February for the same reason.  

The IPL 2025 starts on March 22, with Delhi Capitals playing their first match against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam on March 24. Along with finding a replacement for Brook, the team has not announced their captain for the season yet. Brook has played only one IPL season so far, in 2023, with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He struggled to make an impact, scoring 190 runs in 11 matches at an average of 22.11. However, more than half of those runs came in one stunning innings an unbeaten 100 off 55 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in 2023.
