Is Harry Brook available for PSL 8
Harry Brook will not be playing in the PSL 2023 for the Lahore Qalandars. The Qalandars picked him for the 2023 season, but due to national commitments, he decided to opt out of the tournament. He was playing for England in the Test series and will be taking a rest after it as he is not selected in England’s ODI squad against Bangladesh.
Lahore Qalandars signed fellow England batter Sam Billings as Brook’s replacement. It is to be noted that Brook also missed the SA20 League keeping the workload in mind. Brook was set to play for Johannesburg Super Kings, but as he is playing all three formats of the game, Brook was not allowed to play in the tournament by ECB.
