Mitchell Starc on Border-Gavaskar Trophy: James Anderson recently retired from cricket at the age of 41. There are very few bowlers in the cricket world who have shown their bowling prowess in international cricket till the age of 40. This is why Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has admitted that it will be very difficult for me to play till the age of 40 like Anderson. I will not be able to play international cricket till the age of 40 like Jimmy.
No plans to retire just yet
Australia's left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc is in the last phase of his career. 34-year-old Starc is looking forward to the Border-Gavaskar series. Starc has been troubled by his injuries in recent times. He has always admitted that I have bowled even when I was not 100 percent fit, but I don't think my career will be as long as that of England's legendary fast bowler James Anderson.
Starc said in an interview, 'I am very fortunate that I got a chance to play all three formats for a long time. I don't know how long I will continue to play. However, the schedule of all three formats is becoming difficult for me. Tests are still on top for me. I am not a guy like Jimmy, who can play till the age of 40 and has amazing skills to swing both sides. I have never been that kind of bowler. I am really looking forward to the Border Gavaskar series. I have not set any specific time for my retirement.'
Starc's record in Tests against India
Starc has played a total of 18 Test matches against India and has managed to take 48 wickets during this period. Starc has not yet taken five wickets in an innings against India in this format.
