Starc will feature in Australia's T20I opener against Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) later on Friday and it is estimated that his decision to not participate in the IPL auctions over the years could cost him upward of AUS 10 million dollars. 'I was a click of the button away from entering the auction but personally didn't want to spend 22 more weeks in a bubble,' the 32-year-old left-hand quick has reportedly told Fox Cricket in an interview which will be telecast over the weekend, reported. Sydney, Feb 11 (IANS) Australian pace bowling stalwart Mitchell Starc has said he was just a 'click of the button away' from enrolling for the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction on February 12-13 in Bengaluru, but instead decided to skip it for the fourth year in a row to spend time with his family and keep himself fresh for Australia's gruelling sub-continental schedule this year.Ī total of 47 Australians have enrolled for the IPL auction, but Starc, who was in great form with the ball and the bat during the recently-concluded Ashes series, has opted out of the mega auction.
