As the ceasefire between India and Pakistan continues, adjustments are coming to implement IPL 2025, with rumors that the tournament is set to commence on May 16. But before this, there has been great news about Australian players. Another option is that Mitchell Starc has difficulty playing in another IPL. This could be a big blow to Delhi Capitals as they are still in the contest to qualify for the playoffs this season. In his absence, Delhi would need someone to bridge that gap, and the management might go ahead with veteran Indian bowler Mohit Sharma, who DC acquired for 2.2 crores. He has been featured in just 7 matches for DC in IPL 2025 and managed to take just 2 wickets.
Australian players in worry
Australian players are increasingly concerned about the future of IPL. They recently returned from India to their home country. Players are fearful because of the high level of security threats in India and the altered plans for the tournament. In Sydney, Mitchell Starc and his wife Alyssa Healy arrived on Sunday. While Starc stayed quiet on the matter, his manager said that Nine News in Australia would speak about how Mitchell could be pushed to the side for future IPL games.
Discount given to players
There is a move to restore IPL back to its normal course. In the interim, Cricket Australia (CA) has been candid in stating that players can decide whether or not they would like to take part in the tournament. CA has gone on record stating that the absence of a player will not affect his selection during the IPL and his relationship with the BCCI. The very conditions seem to have disillusioned some of the players, who may now find themselves in a quandary of having to make a decision.
