Former Australia captain Michael Clarke says that fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s absence due to injury will have a huge loss in the four-Test series against India. Starc was on Friday ruled out with a stress fracture in his right foot.
‘It will have a huge impact. Mitchell Starc is that X-factor for the Australian team. I think he will certainly be missed,’ Clarke told.
Cricket Australia has named Pat Cummins as his replacement, as third test will start on 16 March at Ranchi, the hometown of former Indian captain MS Dhoni.
