Mitchell Starc Archives

Mitchell Starc announced he will retire from T20Is.

Posted on September 2, 2025 by [email protected]

Mitchell Starc wishes to play Test cricket. Particularly as Australia is packed with work from the latter part of 2019 and the 2027 ODI World Cup. Starc debuted in T20I in 2012 and has appeared in 65 matches until now. Mitchell Starc was a member of the Australian team that won the 2021 T20 World Cup. His recent T20I was in 2024, and he retired six months prior to the following T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. He is now ranked second-highest wicket-taker in T20Is for Australia. With his best being 4 wickets for 20 against the West Indies in 2022.

Starc declared, “My primary priority has always been and will remain Test cricket.”.

I’ve enjoyed all the games I’ve played, particularly the 2021 World Cup, not for winning, but for the team and the wonderful experience we shared.

Australia is set to have a lot of Test matches lined up from mid-2026.

These are a home series against Bangladesh, a tour of South Africa, a four-game series against New Zealand, five Tests in India in January 2027, a special match against England at the MCG for its 150th anniversary, and the Ashes series towards the end of 2027.

During October and November 2027, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia will stage the ODI World Cup, and Australia will be the champions.

Starc feels quitting T20Is is the best decision for his health and being ready to his potential for the 2027 ODI World Cup, the Ashes, and the Indian Tests.

It also provides the bowling unit with time to prepare.

Mitchell Starc was famous for his yorker and new-ball swing.

Though Australia have won 14 of their previous 17 games since Starc last appeared in a T20I, his pace is not easily replaceable as the team heads to the forthcoming World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

George Bailey commented, “I don’t think we’ll find someone swinging the new ball at 145 kph.”.

A like-for-like substitute may not necessarily be available. He has worked with the new ball and bowled vital overs when it really counted.

So, have we demonstrated the sort of players who can replace him?

Nathan Ellis has been a regular in the T20 side. Ben Dwarshuis is great. Xavier Bartlett and Sean Abbott have also gotten their chance. It could be just a matter of a slight position adjustment.

I believe his record stands for itself.

I’m happiest that he’ll be playing one-day and Test cricket for a long period of time.

When Australia named their most recent T20I squad for the three-match series against New Zealand early last month in October, Starc made the revelation.

Cameron Green can become a returnee to bowling by missing out on the trip to feature for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield.

Nathan Ellis will be absent when his first child with his wife, Connie, is born.

Matt Short, who was absent from the last two series against the West Indies and South Africa with a side injury, has returned. Mitchell Owen, concussed in Darwin last month, also returns. Marcus Stoinis, who played in the Hundred and was not picked for the last two series. Returns having come to terms with the selectors regarding his availability.

Australia T20I team vs New Zealand:

Mitchell Marsh (captain), Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matt Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Owen, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, and Adam Zampa.

In men’s Test cricket, Mitchell Starc records the fastest five-wicket haul history.

In dramatic fashion, Mitchell Starc reached the 400-wicket club on the third day at Sabina Park. Taking the fastest five-wicket haul in Test history. In just 15 balls after destroying the top order of the West Indies with a triple-wicket opening over.

Mitchell Starc produced one of the best opening overs in his 100th Test match. When the left-hander edged a superb outswinger to replacement wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, who was filling in for the injured Alex Carey. He removed John Campbell first ball, marking the fourth time in his career that he had done so with the first delivery of an innings.

Debutant Kevlon Anderson reviewed the plumbest of lbws despite shouldering arms four balls later as the ball spun around to hit his leg in front of the middle stump. The stumps were destroyed by another delivery that bent back to take Brandon King’s inside edge. It was the sixth time a team had gone 0 for 3 in Test history.

Mikyle Louis was the fourth Australian bowler to reach the 400th wicket, following Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, and Nathan Lyon. He survived the hat-trick ball at the beginning of Starc’s second over. But he duly took his 400th wicket with another of his signature inswingers, trapping Louis leg before wicket.

Two balls later, he added Shai Hope leg before wicket to reach a five-wicket total in just 15 deliveries, breaking the previous record. Which was shared by Ernie Toshack, Stuart Broad, and Scott Boland, by four deliveries. The incredible sights continued.

Starc used to rule the pink-ball cricket format in Australia. Confirming his position as the sport’s king. This is the team’s first abroad day-night test.

I Love My Battles With Virat Kohli Due To Mitchell Starc Huge Disclosure

Posted on September 14, 2024 by [email protected]

Australia’s senior Mitchell Starc is excited to compete in the forthcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy against India’s legendary player Virat Kohli.

Australia’s captain Mitchell Starc is excited to compete in the forthcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy against India’s legendary player Virat Kohli. In their 19 innings together, Kohli and Starc have faced off, and in the Test format, the Indian has been extremely dominant against the left-arm bowler. Against Starc’s blistering pace, the seasoned Indian hitter has scored 291 runs at an average of 59.00. However, Starc has only got four opportunities to show Kohli how to get to the pavilion. Even though Kohli defeated him in their head-to-head match. Starc admitted that he still enjoys his confrontations with the Indian ahead of the next Big Game T20.

Virat Kohli and I have played a lot of cricket against one another, which is why I like our battles. I always have some exciting fights. It’s usually a fantastic match and one we both enjoy. As I’ve managed to get him out a couple of times and he’s undoubtedly scored a fair number runs against me, Starc told Star Sports.

Virat Kohli & Mitchell Starc

There will be other thrilling matches on the field than Kohli’s matchup with Starc in Australia.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell thinks the match between Steve Smith of Australia and Virat Kohli of India will be exciting to watch.

The manner that Virat Kohli and Steve Smith, two incredible hitters, go head-to-head, I believe has a lot to do with how their dominance is established throughout the series and how much of an impact it has on who wins the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Maxwell recently told Star Sports that it will be interesting to see the two best players of our generation go head-to-head. One of them is going to make a lot of runs, if not both of them.

On November 22, Australia and India will play their first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar series in Perth.
