Mitchell Starc said that only ‘time will tell the repercussions’ of his decision not to return for the resumed phase of IPL 2025, unlike some of his Australian teammates.

“I'm comfortable with my decision and how I felt about the whole situation and how it was handled,” Starc was quoted as saying by The Age.

Starc decided against returning to India when IPL resumed on May 17 following a 10-day break after the country's armed forces executed Operation Sindoor, a military operation in response to Pakistan-backed terrorists killing 26 civilians in Pahalgam.
