“I’m definitely going back to the IPL in [next] year,” Starc told the Willow Talk Cricket podcast. Among other things, it will be a good platform ahead of the T20 World Cup. So it will be interesting to see if there is any interest in me in the IPL, and then go to the T20 World Cup. Next year has a lighter schedule than this year so I think this is a perfect opportunity to put my name down.”
