The BCCI has banned three England stars from IPL 2026 auction
All three players pulled out of previous IPL seasons citing personal or scheduling reasons, violating IPL participation norms.
As per league guidelines, players who withdraw after being picked can face a two-year suspension from future auctions.
Bought for ₹6.25 crore by Delhi Capitals in 2025, Brook left the season midway to play county cricket-resulting in a 2026–27 ban.
Roy opted out in 2024, skipped the 2025 auction, and is therefore automatically ineligible for IPL 2026.
Stokes, like Brook, exited the tournament after being signed-activating the same two-year sanction imposed under BCCI’s updated auction policies.
