Mitchell Starc has declared himself a certain starter for Australia’s third Test in India but admits he will be far from 100% fit
Cameron Green also puts up hand to play in IndoreStar quick Mitchell Starc has put his hand up to be selected for Australia’s third Test against India but admits he will be hindered by his injured finger. Australia have missed the speedy left-armer since he broke his finger while fielding during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the MCG.
Starc said he was feeling “good enough” but will need to field with a splint on his finger for protection.“There’s going to be a level of discomfort for a little while, I don’t think it is going to be 100% for a little while,” Starc said in Indore on Monday. “But the ball is coming out quite nicely and I feel like I’m pretty much at full tilt.
Captain Pat Cummins will miss the Test after returning home to Sydney to be with his seriously ill mother Maria. Just like Cummins did during the second Test in Delhi, Starc could play as Australia’s only frontline fast bowler with the tourists to consider again picking three spinners.
