A knee niggle will keep left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc out of the start of the IPL 2015. He will remain in Australia for "two-three weeks" of recuperation before joining Royal Challengers Bangalore, with whom he had debuted last season.
"Mitchell had some knee soreness during the latter stages of the World Cup," Australia's physio Alex Kountouris said, "He will have a short period off to rest and recover, before being reassessed by CA medical staff. We estimate his recovery time will be between two-three weeks."
Starc picked up 14 wickets from as many matches and conceded 7.49 per over for Royal Challengers in 2014. His fitness will be tracked along with fellow fast bowler and new recruit Adam Milne's, who had to pull out of the World Cup with a heel problem. The team does have fast-bowling backup, though, in the form of India's Varun Aaron and Ashok Dinda, and Australia seamer and winner of the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year Sean Abbott.

The IPL will be played at 12 venues across India from 8 April 8 to May 24. "There has been a change in the match-schedule of the tournament, on the request of the Kolkata Police, with the Kolkata Municipal Elections taking place on 18 April 2015," BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said in a statement.
"There will be no 'home' matches of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens from 12 April 2015 to 25 April 2015, as per the revised schedule. In all, the dates of three matches and timings of two other matches have been changed," he added.
As per the revised schedule, the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, which was to be played at 8:00pm on April 14, has been shifted to April 30 (8:00pm).

IPL 8: Sunil Narine cleared to play after BCCI nod
Mystery spinner Sunil Narine was on Sunday cleared to play for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming Indian Premier League after the BCCI's review committee dealing with suspect action gave the West Indian clean chit.
Narine was first called for a suspect action last October during a KKR match in the Champions League T20.
The review committee, comprising S Venkatraghavan, Javagal Srinath and AV Jayaprakash examined the bowling action of Narine after he had undergone a biomechanical assessment at the ICC-accredited SRMC centre in Chennai.
Narine had taken a re-test at Sri Ramachandra University on Thursday where he was put through various tests by the panel headed by former Indian fast bowler Srinath.
