Mitchell Starc ruled out of IPL for first three weeks

Mitchell Starc, the World Cup player of the tournament, has been ruled out of the upcoming Indian Premier League for the first three weeks due to a minor knee strain. According to News.com.au, Cricket Australia want their premier fast bowler Starc in good shape before the commencement of the Ashes and the preceding tour of West Indies.

Starc, who was named the ICC's best one-day bowler following a stellar World Cup performance, will join the Royal Challengers Bangalore midway through the IPL tournament.

Interesting. So Starc after money too.

Thought was only money grabbing mercenaries from the Windies go IPL.

Apparently it's not an April fool prank unless Cricket Australia into this kinda thing:

Quote:World Cup player of the tournament will miss the start of the IPL with a knee complaint
Australia’s World Cup player of the tournament Mitchell Starc will miss the start of the Indian Premier League with a minor knee injury.
Starc captured 22 wickets in the World Cup at an astonishing average of 10.18, but a left knee niggle will keep the lethal left-armer grounded for two-three weeks in Australia.

Starc is a smart ass : he has no intention of bending his back in the Caribbean.

He had great returns on his HOME turf and he wanna enjoy his 15 minutes of fame ! 

We will deal with him when the time arrives...

I was interested to read that Starc has played a total of 70 internationals (Tests, ODIs and T20s) with only 14 of those appearances coming outside of Australia. He has played 15 Tests, 9 of which were in Australia. 41 ODIs, 36 at home and 16 of his 19 T20s have also come at home.
