Xtra Time Web Desk : Australian speedster Mitchell Starc on Wednesday expressed his wish of putting his name back to the Indian Premier League 2022 mega auction after a long gap due to various reasons.

"I've got two days to get my paperwork in, so that might be something to do today before training. I've not put my name down just yet, but I've got a couple more days to decide on that. It's certainly on the table regardless of what the schedule has got coming up. I haven't been for six years or so. Obviously, with a heavy weighting towards T20s over the last period of time and the World Cup coming up later this year, that's one to take into consideration as well. There's a bit going on with scheduling and what-not to get our heads around, certainly for us multi-format players." said Starc to cricket.com.au.

The mega auction, which will be held in Bengaluru on January 12 and 13 will see a total of 10 franchises taking part in it, after the BCCI gave formal clearance to the two new franchises namely, Lucknow and Ahemdabad.

And Starc, who last played in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore back in 2016 has played a total of 27 matches in the tournament.
