With the score at 35-0, Ebadot Hossain bowled a straight delivery to Rhys Mairu, which the batter left alone. Nurul, positioned closer to first slip rather than in the traditional wicket-keeper's spot, failed to collect the ball as it struck the helmet and rolled towards short third man.

Both Nurul and the batters appeared confused by the situation. Phillips and Mairu eventually took a single, with the umpire awarding an additional five runs as penalty.
According to rule 28.3.2 of Marylebone Cricket Club's cricket laws: "If the ball while in play strikes the protective helmet the ball shall immediately become dead and he umpire shall signal No ball or Wide to the scorers, if applicable or umpire shall award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side."

I still want to represent DC in IPL 2026: Aussie quick Mitchell Starc
Australia's pace spearhead Mitchell Starc has made it clear that he remains committed to the Delhi Capitals franchise and hopes to return for the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League, despite his absence from the latter half of IPL 2025. Starc opted not to rejoin the Capitals after the tournament resumed post a 10-day suspension due to Operation Sindoor—India's counter-response to a terror attack in Pahalgam. While many Australian cricketers returned, Starc stayed back, citing personal reservations around safety and insufficient clarity at the time. The veteran quick emphasised that his decision was grounded in personal comfort and awareness of the broader situation rather than any lack of commitment to his IPL team. 'I'm happy to stand by what I felt was the right call for me,' he shared. Security and Uncertainty Prompted Decision Starc admitted he had concerns even before Delhi Capitals' 8 May match against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala, a fixture that was eventually abandoned after a power failure led to an emergency evacuation. The match's proximity to the international border only added to his unease, especially with wife Alyssa Healy present in the stands. The left-arm quick said the event reinforced his doubts and helped him reach a firm decision not to return when the tournament resumed. Repercussions Don't Worry Me, Says Starc Acknowledging that some may view his choice critically, Starc said he is prepared to face any consequences. 'Time will tell how it's perceived, but I stand by it,' he said, adding that different players had different comfort levels and situations, and he respected each individual decision. Lack of Information a Key Factor Starc stressed that a lack of timely and reliable information regarding the situation was a major influence. After returning home, he weighed the risks and decided to shift focus towards Test cricket, especially with the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord's on the horizon. Still Loyal to Delhi Capitals Despite the unexpected break, Starc reiterated his loyalty to Delhi Capitals. He said he has never been one to withdraw lightly from a tournament after being selected at auction and that his decision came under exceptional circumstances. 'I still want to be part of this group,' he said, hinting at a strong desire to return next season and continue his IPL journey with the Capitals. Australia Focused Ahead of WTC Final Looking ahead to Australia's WTC final, Starc said the team would stick to their strengths and continue playing their brand of cricket. 'We won't be changing how we play,' he remarked, confident that their tactical consistency will serve them well against South Africa.

Star player opens up about not returning to IPL 2025 after India-Pakistan tension suspended league, says 'time will tell…'
Mitchell Starc of Delhi Capitals refused to return to India when IPL 2025 resumed last month. (Photo: ANI) Delhi Capitals team suffered a big blow immediately after the IPL 2025 was suspended for week when star pace bowler Mitchell Starc took the decision not to return to India. The T20 league was suspended for a week amid India-Pakistan tension after India's 'Operation Sindoor' in response to Pahalgam terrorist attack. Starc was stuck in Dharamsala when the IPL 2025 match between DC and Punjab Kings had to be suspended due to 'blackout' in the city and nearby areas after Pakistan's drone attacks in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor'. The Australian left-arm pacer was an essential member of Axar Patel's DC, claiming 14 wickets in 11 matches in IPL 2025 before the fateful night of May 8 when their match needed to be abandoned. All players were immediately evacuated out of the city and players from both sides had to return to Delhi in a specially arranged train as flight operations had been suspended in Dharamsala and all nearby airports. Starc's wife and Australia Women's captain Alyssa Healy was also attending the game when the game was stopped and the stadium was evacuated due to Dharamsala's proximity with the international border. The 35-year-old pacer said he had his doubts heading into that IPL 2025 game between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings given the tensions. 'I'm comfortable with my decision and how I felt about the whole situation and how it was handled,' Starc was quoted as saying by The Age. Mitchell Starc in the nets for Australia ahead of the WTC final — Cricketism (@MidnightMusinng) June 5, 2025 'That's why I made my decision post-that, and my focus changed to red-ball cricket for about a week prior to coming over here (the UK). 'Time will tell with repercussions or how it looks with guys that didn't return. But I've had my questions and concerns leading into that game, and obviously we saw what happened, which played a part in my decision,' he said. Starc revealed that due to similar reasons he had decided not to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with the Australian team earlier this year as well. 'There was a little bit of that to my decision around the Champions Trophy (in Pakistan) and then once the tournament (IPL) was delayed, you start to think about guys' preparation for the Test match,' he said, referring to Australia's World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa to be played at Lord's from June 11. Starc said things were 'handled differently for different players and different teams' in Dharamsala. Both the teams along with broadcast crew had returned to Delhi from Pathankot in a special train. 'Things were handled differently for different players and different teams, the guys up in Dharamsala, the Punjab guys were part of that, and while both teams had similar experiences up there, all those guys returned for Punjab, and Jake (Fraser-McGurk) and I chose not to,' he said. 'It was a very individual decision, and I'm happy to live with whatever comes of that. 'I'm still heavily committed to the Delhi group, and I'm not someone that's gone into tournaments and pulled out after being picked up in an auction or whatever that looks like. These are different circumstances,' Starc said. Starc, who was the most expensive player in IPL 2024 season, had been bought for Rs 11.75 crore by Delhi Capitals at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

'I'm still heavily committed to Delhi Capitals': Mitchell Starc reacts after leaving IPL 2025 midway
Mitchell Starc (image credit: BCCI/IPL) NEW DELHI: Mitchell Starc remains 'heavily committed' to Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, but admitted that 'time will tell the repercussions' of his decision not to return for the remainder of the tournament, unlike some of his Australian teammates. The pacer opted out of the IPL's resumption on May 17, following a 10-day break triggered by Operation Sindoor — a military response to Pakistan-backed terrorists killing 26 civilians in Pahalgam. Starc, who played a key role in Delhi Capitals' bowling attack with 14 wickets in 11 games, last featured in the May 8 clash against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. That match was abandoned after the stadium lights went out abruptly. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!

'I'm comfortable with my decision and how I felt about the whole situation and how it was handled,' Starc was quoted as saying by The Age.

These are different circumstances,' he added. Starc, who was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders' title-winning campaign last season, also explained that a lack of clarity contributed to his decision to skip the second half of the season. 'It was more a question of not having enough information leading into making a decision (about) things of that degree. I had a discussion back home then came to a decision, and whatever comes from that I'm comfortable with that and we move forward,' he said.
