Mitchell Starc, Jos Buttler Exit IPL 2025

On May 16, 2025, the Indian Premier League (IPL) faces significant challenges as Australian pacer Mitchell Starc and England’s Jos Buttler withdraw from the 2025 season, citing geopolitical tensions and international cricket commitments.

The IPL resumed after a Pakistan-India ceasefire on May 10, but the absence of key overseas players threatens its star power.

Mitchell Starc, 35, representing Delhi Capitals, opted out after a match in Dharamsala was abandoned due to a reported floodlight failure, amid security concerns linked to regional tensions. Australian media reports that Starc is prioritising preparations for Australia’s ICC World Test Championship final against South Africa on June 11 at Lord’s. With Rajasthan Royals, Jos Buttler will leave before the playoffs, replaced by Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis, to prepare for England’s ODI series against the West Indies.

The BBC notes that England’s Jacob Bethell (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) and Will Jacks (Mumbai Indians) will likely exit early. While Australia’s Pat Cummins and Travis Head plan to return, other players’ participation remains uncertain.

Tensions flared after an April 22 attack in Pahalgam, escalating Pakistan-India conflicts. Misleading Indian media reports about the Dharamsala incident heightened concerns, prompting player evacuations. The ceasefire has stabilised the situation, but its fragility impacts the IPL.

Franchises and organisers are balancing international calendars and unforeseen escalations, striving to maintain the tournament’s appeal despite the withdrawals.
