Delhi Capitals could face an early setback ahead of IPL 2026 as Mitchell Starc has not yet joined the squad. The Australian pacer’s absence is raising concerns within the camp.
An update on his fitness came from his wife Alyssa Healy. She responded to a fan on Instagram and revealed that Starc is dealing with an issue that has stopped him from bowling.
This has created uncertainty over his availability for the upcoming season. There is still no official confirmation on when Mitchell Starc will join the Delhi Capitals squad.
Starc was picked by Delhi after being released by Kolkata Knight Riders. He had played a key role in their title winning campaign, making his absence more significant.
Delhi Capitals are set to begin their IPL 2026 campaign against Lucknow SuperGiants on April 1. The team will be led by Axar Patel this season.
With the tournament approaching, the franchise will be hoping for a quick recovery. Starc’s fitness status could play a crucial role in shaping Delhi’s early performance.
