This statement of Mitchell Starc has made it clear that he himself is not clear about whether he will play in IPL or not. In such a situation, he is still avoiding answering on this matter.
Why was the question raised about Starc playing IPL?
Let us tell you that Australia cricket team will tour India before IPL 2027. After this, the 150th anniversary of the Ashes series is to be played as a test on March 11 next year. In such a situation, Mitchell Starr is the main bowler of Australia and his playing is considered certain for Australia. In such a situation, he can stop playing for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2027 to manage his workload.
Big statement from Australian coach
Australia coach Andrew McDonald said, 'I know people will start talking about the IPL and that time. I think IPL is the best tournament from the point of view of T20 cricket and playing our best players in it also benefits their performance. You just have to move forward by maintaining a balance between both the things. There are many big international events in the coming time, which include the possible final of the World Test Championship, the Ashes series to be held abroad and the upcoming World Cup. In such a situation, our coaching staff and medical teams are constantly assessing the workload of the players, especially the fast bowlers. It is very important for us to give them rest.
