Notably, Brook is unlikely to return to India, and his family, along with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), urges both the media and the public to honour their wish for privacy and avoid intruding on their personal space.

The unexpected departure of Brook prompts the England selectors to initiate the process of confirming a replacement player for the ongoing tour. The details regarding the replacement player will be communicated by the selectors in due course.
