MITCHELL STARC

LHB, LF

The Aussie spearhead battled fitness issues all of last summer, yet was still able to produce moments such as his match-winning turn in the first Test in South Africa. It underscored Starc’s value to the team, and perhaps the most promising news to be had ahead of this domestic season was that he was completely fit to go to the UAE. With the uncertainty around Australia’s batting, a fully firing Starc will be sorely needed.
