Australia allrounder Mitchell Marsh, who was bought for a whopping Rs 6.5 crore in the IPL auction, was to join Delhi Capitals on April 6 after the end of the Pakistan white-ball series. Delhi Capitals bought only seven overseas players in the mega auction and fielded only two of those against Mumbai due to availability constraints and injuries to other key players.

Marsh and David Warner were originally scheduled to join the Capitals after April 6. Cricket Australia said in a statement on Wednesday that Marsh will be released after an assessment showed he would not be available for the remaining three matches of the tour.

“Marsh will travel to India to link with the Delhi Capitals squad where former Australian and current New South Wales physiotherapist Pat Farhart will manage his recovery following an isolation period,” it added. Australia will also play a T20 match to wrap up their tour of Pakistan, who they beat 1-0 in a three-test series.
