Mitchell Starc, the 36-year-old Australian fast bowler, has received clearance from Cricket Australia to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Delhi Capitals. Following a recovery period due to elbow and shoulder injuries, Starc is expected to play against the Rajasthan Royals on May 1. He previously excelled in the Ashes series, earning the Player of the Series title, and contributed to the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. Starc's absence had raised questions about the commitment of overseas players, prompting him to clarify his situation on social media, where he addressed what he called 'heavily misinformed opinions' regarding his involvement in the IPL. Last season, Starc was a standout for Delhi Capitals, taking 14 wickets in 11 matches. Currently, the team is fifth in the points table with three wins and three losses from six games. Meanwhile, other Australian players, including captain Pat Cummins, are also making their returns to the league.
