IND vs AUS: Even before the four-test series between Australia and India (IND vs AUS), which begins on February 9, the Australian team has experienced a significant setback. The main bowler for the Kangaroo team is the fast bowler Mitchell Starc, whose performance is in question. In Australia, there was an award ceremony yesterday, and Mitchell Starc spoke about it there. In order to compete for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, both teams intend to field their strongest playing 11. However, if Starc is forced to withdraw due to injury, it will be a major setback for the Australian team.
Mitchell Starc gave a big update on his injury
Australia team’s yorker king Mitchell Starc said at the award ceremony in Australia, “I am on track..still a couple of weeks and then maybe meet friends in Delhi and then practice there.” This means that he will not be able to play in the first Test match against India from 9 February. On the other hand, Australia team coach Andrew McDonald has also confirmed that Starc will not be able to play in the first Test match and he is still recovering from his finger injury and will probably be seen with the team in the second Test match to be held in Delhi.
