"The Royal Challengers Bangalore and fast bowler Mitchell Starc have mutually decided to discontinue their association ahead of the upcoming season of VIVO Indian Premier League in accordance with Regulation 41 of the IPL Player Regulations," the BCCI said in a release.

"The Bangalore franchise will go into Monday's VIVO IPL Player Auction 2017 with an additional purse of Rs 5cr and an additional slot for overseas player," the BCCI added.

RCB now have Rs 17.825cr to spend at the auction.

The left-arm pace bowler was part of the RCB franchise since 2014, but played only two tournaments for them. He missed the entire 2016 season because he was recovering from a foot fracture.

In 2014, he took 14 wickets at 28.71 apiece, with an economy of 7.49, and in 2015 he claimed 20 wickets at 14.55 apiece with an economy of 6.76.

Starc is presently in India with the touring Australian Test team for the four-match series.
