According to an ESPN Cricinfo report, opener <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/faf-du-plessis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Faf Du Plessis<\/a> has decided not to return as the IPL 2025 season resumes.<\/p>\n<p>The league was suspended temporarily for a week and it is set for a restart on Saturday, May 17. Several overseas players flew back during the break, leaving teams with player availability issues.<\/p>\n<p>The situation gets worse for Delhi Capitals, who are already set to miss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/ma-starc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Mitchell Starc<\/a> and Jake Fraser-McGurk for the rest of the season, who decided not to fly back.

With the likes of Starc, McGurk, and Du Plessis not coming back along with Stubbs staying only till the league stage, the Delhi Capitals face massive trouble.<\/p>\n<p>They need to win at least two of their remaining three games to keep their hopes of qualifying alive.
