McGrath Backs Starc To Be Match-Ready For Sydney Test

Sydney: Australian legend Glenn McGrath believes that Mitchell Starc would leave no stone unturned to be match-fit for the crucial New Year’s Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), starting on January 3.

Starc suffered rib and back soreness during the Boxing Day Test. The 34-year-old, a crucial cog in Australia’s pace attack, was seen battling through the pain to help his team win the Boxing Day Test.

“It will be up to Mitch and the powers to be (whether he plays). He will be doing everything possible to be out in the middle. He is such a massive part of this Australian team, and when he is on fire, he is as good as anyone going around.

“He’s been bowling incredibly well. Fingers crossed he has pulled up well and can get through this Test,” McGrath was quoted as saying by Fox Cricket. IANS
