Harry Brook to return home from England tour of India

England batter Harry Brook is to fly home from England's tour of India for personal reasons, according to BBC Sport.

Brook, 24, was expected to be in England's XI for the opening Test in Hyderabad on Thursday but has left the squad with immediate effect.

Surrey's Dan Lawrence has been named as his replacement but Brook could return later in the five-match series.

"The Brook family respectfully requests privacy during this time," the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday.
