Harry Brook has pulled out of his deal to play with the Melbourne Stars in another blow for the Big Bash League.
It is the second-straight season a high BBL draft pick has backflipped to play in the tournament after fellow Englishman Liam Livingstone withdrew from appearing for the Melbourne Renegades last year.
Brook, who was selected with pick two in the draft, was set to join the Stars for seven games after England finished their tour of the West Indies in December.
