Subsequently, DC has now included Bangladesh’s left -arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman in the team.
IANS has come to know that most of Australia’s foreign cricketers, especially DC and Punjab Kings (PBKS) players were very afraid after the cancellation of India Pakistan match.
Fraser-Macagark’s childhood coach Shannon Young, who was in Dharamshala at that time, told IANS on Wednesday, “Jake was more afraid of most of the foreign players present in Dharamshala at that time. This (his decision to be out of IPL 2025) is not surprising, seeing that he is the youngest foreign player in DC setup. Then obviously when we left from there and returned to Delhi. “
He said, “Overall, he was not feeling anything good, and I am very grateful to help him get out of all this.
The agency has also come to know that some foreign players of both teams, especially Australia players, had expressed concern over playing in Dharamshala on 8 May due to increasing tension between India and Pakistan, but the tournament officials somehow convinced them to field, but due to drones and air strikes from Pakistan, there was also a low distance from Dharamshala due to drones and airstrikes from Pakistan, which caused drones and airstrikes. Are, so the match was canceled only after the game of 10.1 overs. Due to this, the players had to return to their hotels amid tight security.

Young living in Melbourne, who is also the coach of the Netherlands captain Scott Edwards, said, “Soon after the incidents in Dharamshala, the entire management and employees of Delhi Capitals showed untrustwill care and concern for our safety. But I have to tell you that where we were in Dharamshala, there was a danger.”
IPL sources have also told IANS that the left -arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc is also uncertain to DC’s remaining matches, while Faf Duplesey and Triston Stabs are also doubted about re -joining the franchise.
