Mitchell Starc, the 36-year-old Australian fast bowler, has received clearance from Cricket Australia to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after recovering from elbow and shoulder injuries. He is expected to make his debut for the Delhi Capitals in their match against the Rajasthan Royals on May 1. Starc had been sidelined since January, raising concerns about the commitment of overseas players in the IPL. In response, he addressed the criticism on social media, clarifying that he is managing his rehabilitation and the extent of his injuries was previously unknown. Last season, Starc was a standout player for the Delhi Capitals, taking 14 wickets in 11 matches. As the team currently sits fifth in the points table with three wins and three losses from six games, his return could significantly bolster their performance. Additionally, other Australian players, such as captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, are also making their returns to the league.
