Mitchell Starc On IPL: The Australian team won another ICC trophy after winning the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India by 209 runs. Now Australia has become the first team in world cricket to have won the ICC title in all formats. At the same time, in this match, the Indian team was facing continuous criticism after the defeat. Meanwhile, now Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has given a big statement regarding IPL.
Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc, part of the Australian playing 11 in the WTC final match, said in his interview to The Guardian after the victory that I enjoyed playing in the IPL and also playing county cricket for Yorkshire. But playing for my country is always my first priority. I have no qualms about playing in the T20 league. Money will keep coming and going. But I consider myself lucky for the opportunities that I got.
Mitchell Starc further said that the history of Test cricket is more than 100 years old and for Australia it has been played by less than 500 male players so far, which makes it very special in itself. I think conservatively and hope that the coming generation will give priority to Test cricket. I would definitely like to play IPL again but my first priority is to play for Australia for a long time no matter what format it is.
IPL fatigue shows effect on Indian bowlers
The major reason for the defeat of the Indian team in the WTC final was that the team reached to play in this match directly after playing for two consecutive months in the IPL. Due to this, the fast bowlers of the Indian team could not get full time for preparation before the final match. Along with this, due to excessive bowling during the match, he also appeared clearly tired.
