On Friday, May 16, Delhi Capitals were handed a massive blow as their star bowler and Australian legend Mitchell Starc refused to return for the remainder of the league. There is yet to be an official confirmation, but several reliable reports have confirmed that the left-arm seamer won't return for the extended league.
DC have already suffered a blow as Jake Fraser McGurk too won't be returning to India and the Capitals replaced him with Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman. Now DC are short of another player and they need to name another replacement and this article will shed light on the three players who can replace Starc for rest of the season.
1.Naveen Ul-Haq The first and foremost choice is Naveen Ul Haq. The Afghan star enjoyed success with Lucknow Super Giants in the previous seasons but went unsold in IPL 2025 mega-auction. Further, Naveen took 14 wickets in IPL 2024 and 11 in IPL 2023. Thus, the reason behind him not getting any bids was beyond understanding.
Naveen's latest appearance was in SA20 2025 , where he struggled for wickets, but a player of his calibre is a perfect temporary replacement for the Capitals. Let's look at his stats in tournaments recently.

2.Adam Milne New Zealand's Adam Milne is another player who is likely to be named as Mitchell Starc's replacement. The 33-year-old has not played in IPL since 2022 and also went unsold in IPL 2025 mega-auction.
At present, Milne featured in PSL 2025 where he played just 2 innings and it is unlikely that he returns to PSL and might pull off a Kusal Mendis-like move and ditch PSL for IPL. Talking about his recent stats, then Milne featured in ILT20 2025 where he took 14 wickets in 12 matches and looked in great touch.

3.Jason Behrendorff The 35-year-old is another option for Delhi Capitals to replace Jason Behrendorff. Notably, the left-arm seamer can be a like-to-like replacement and was on song in the recently concluded Big Bash League 2024.
Talking about his stats, then Jason Behrendorff had a brilliant BBL and picked up 17 wickets in 10 innings. Let's look at his detailed stats of past tournaments.
