Border-Gavaskar Series: Mitchell Starc, the spearhead for Australia, suffered a serious injury during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa. His left middle finger was hurt, and as a result, he was unable to play in the third Test in Sydney. Nevertheless, the Australians won the three-match series by a score of 2-0 despite his absence.
During the Australia Cricket Awards, the Australian speedster gave a fitness report. Starc continued his conversation with Erin Holland by stating that he was looking forward to the impending challenge of the India tour. Notably, a four-match Test series between Australia and team India is set to begin on February 9.
According to a tweet from 7Cricket, Starc stated, “I am track, still a couple of weeks and then maybe meet the lads in Delhi..after..hopefully, a first Test match win..get myself into training over there.”
Additionally, Cameron Green, an all-rounder from Australia, is battling for a starting spot in the opening Test. Concerns regarding his bowling performance have been raised by Cricket Australia. Andrew McDonald, the head coach of Australia, made note of his uncertain availability. In fact, it’s possible that the Australian will also be absent from the second Test match. “His biggest obstacle right now, according to his current situation, is bowling,” said McDonald.
“There isn’t much loading there, and one of the main reasons for us arriving at camp early is to make sure we are prepared for the demands of what the bowling unit would entail. Building his confidence is the most important step, and having adequate time will be the deciding factor in putting him up for success in that first Test match,” ESPN Cricinfo reported a remark from the head coach.
A four-match Test series between Australia and India is scheduled to begin on February 9. It will be intriguing to see how the visitors handle their injury problems and, in the worst situation, potential replacements.
