Australia's injury-prone fast bowler Mitchell Starc was yesterday ruled out of the upcoming Indian Premier League due to a stress fracture in his right leg, dealing a blow to his franchise Kolkata Knight Riders' prospects.
The pacer was also ruled out of the fourth and final Test against South Africa, which started in Johannesburg yesterday. "Mitchell Starc has a 'tibial bone stress in his right leg'. He will return home for further assessment after the Test and will miss the IPL," Cricket Australia tweeted. The pacer was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for R9.4 crore at the IPL auction, but will not take place in the lucrative tournament this season now.
