• England's Ben Duckett withdraws from IPL 2026 to focus on his Test career after a poor Ashes performance.
• Duckett, signed by Delhi Capitals for Rs 2 crore, expressed regret but stated it was the right decision for his career.
• His withdrawal triggers a two-year suspension from the IPL, preventing him from playing in 2027 and 2028.
• IPL rules mandate a two-season ban for players who pull out due to personal reasons, similar to Harry Brook's case.
• Delhi Capitals can now sign a replacement player for Duckett ahead of the season.
