Delhi Capitals could miss a key pacer for the rest of IPL 2025.
Star Australia pacer Mitchell Starc landed in Sydney airport along with his wife Alyssa Healy on Sunday, but is unlikely to return to India for the remainder of IPL 2025. Mitchell Starc plays for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025.
He was among few other Australia players who have returned back to their homes following the week-long suspension of the IPL. IPL 2025 has been suspended due to the ongoing political conflict between India and Pakistan.
According to Australian media channel 9News, Mitchell Starc’s manager has informed that the 35-year-old may not be heading back to India. Mitchell Starc has taken 14 wickets from 12 matches for Delhi Capitals this season. He was acquired for a whopping amount of INR 11.75 crore.
Mitchell Starc is not the only Australian who could be absent from the rest of IPL 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Josh Hazlewood has suffered an injury setback and may not be returning to India for the remainder of IPL 2025. It is also to be noted that Australia and South Africa will lock horns in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord’s from June 11.
The IPL 2025 is reportedly set to resume on May 16 (Friday) with the final scheduled to take place on May 30. There are also reports that the game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals could be replayed. However, nothing has been officially confirmed as yet.
