    Moeen Ali, the former England all-rounder, has lent his support to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding their recent decision to impose a two-year ban from the Indian Premier League (IPL) on England cricketer Harry Brook.

    The ban comes after Brook opted to withdraw from the current IPL season at the last minute, in line with the BCCI's newly established policy.

    In a discussion on the podcast "Beard Before Cricket," Moeen Ali stated, "It's not harsh. I kind of agree with it, in a way, because a lot of people do that." He explained that players frequently pull out of the IPL, only to return later in hopes of securing more lucrative contracts. Moeen emphasized that such decisions can disrupt team dynamics considerably.

    Harry Brook, who had been signed by Delhi Capitals for INR 6.25 crore during the mega auction in November, chose to step back from participating for the second consecutive year in order to focus on his national team commitments. Previously, he was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 4 crore.

    Moeen further elaborated, "A lot of people have done it in the past and then they come back in and they end up getting a better financial package, or whatever it is. And he kind of messes a lot of things up as well at the same time."

    He noted the direct impact on Brook’s team, saying, "Any team that loses Harry Brook is messed up a bit, and they’ve got to now rejig everything."

    Moeen reinforced the policy by noting exceptions for understandable withdrawals, such as family emergencies or injuries, adding that a straightforward pull-out without such reasons justifies the rule.

    Adil Rashid, an England leg-spinner, agreed with Moeen. He remarked, "They actually put that rule in place before, and then this happened. So, you know when you’re going in, this is the rule."

    Rashid clarified that understanding the repercussions of withdrawal is crucial for players, stating, "When you put your name in, you know if you pull out, this is going to happen. So you know the consequences."

    Rashid acknowledged that similar situations have occurred over the past few years and emphasized the need for such regulations to curb the trend of late withdrawals, which greatly impact team strategies and planning.

    Both Moeen and Rashid highlighted the necessity of the BCCI's rule, seeing it as a necessary step to maintain the stability and integrity of the league.
