Divya Delhi: The IPL was delayed for a week on May 9 due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Reports suggest that the IPL would be strengthened early after the ceasefire as many overseas players come home. If the IPL starts on May 16 or 17, or later, some overseas players may not return for the matches. If this is the case, significant players from various squads who contributed and were impromptu this season will not play. Mitchell Starc may not play in IPL 2025 after his suspension due to fatigue and injuries. Delhi Capitals relied on the Australian bowler, who left India on May 11 after 14 wickets in 11 innings. Starc may not be able to return to Australia if Delhi Capital fails to qualify for the playoffs with three more matches. I value national pledges, so Starc may focus on international appeals.
