IND vs AUS: Mitchell Starc Injury update. Check availability for India vs Australia Nagpur Test

Mitchell Starc Injury: The visiting Australian team have suffered a huge setback as their premier left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc will not be available for selection in the first of the four-match Test series against India. Australia will be taking on India in the opening Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on 9 February, 2023. This IND vs AUS four-match Test series will definitely play a crucial role in deciding the two finalists for this year’s ICC World Test Championship Final.

Mitchell Starc Injury update

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has been ruled out of the first Test against India, which is scheduled to begin on February 9th in Nagpur. This news comes as a disappointment for the team as well as for Starc himself, who was looking forward to making a strong impact in the series. Starc sustained a finger injury during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Recently, Starc provided an update on his injury during the Australia Cricket Awards in Sydney. When asked about his availability for the first Test, the left-arm bowler revealed that the healing process of his injury has not yet completed and will take more time, which effectively rules him out of the match. This means that the team will have to perform without one of their key players in the first Test.

Despite this setback, Starc is hopeful that he will be able to make a comeback in the Delhi Test, which begins on February 17th. He is confident that with proper rehabilitation and rest, he will be able to recover fully and get back on the field. The team will be relying on the other players to step up and fill the gap left by Starc’s absence.

Injuries are a common occurrence in the world of sports, and it is essential for players to recover fully before making a comeback. Starc’s absence will surely be felt by the team, but with determination and hard work, the team can overcome this challenge and achieve their goals. Fans are eagerly waiting for Starc’s return to the field, where he can once again showcase his skills and contribute to the team’s success.
