Big blow to Australia before the World Cup! Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc injured
[ad_1]
Pat Cummins is also not available for the tour of South Africa, due to which Mitchell Marsh will now take over the captaincy of the team in the ODI and T20 series. Starc’s absence means uncapped left-arm fast bowler Spencer Johnson will also be part of the ODI squad after the T20s. At the same time, Marnus Labushen has been included in the ODI team in place of Smith. It is being told that Smith is suffering from a tendon injury in his left wrist due to which he will be out of action for the next four weeks.
Reports said Starc has been suffering from ‘lower back pain’ since his return from England, where he played in the WTC final and four of the five Ashes Tests. It also said that his absence from the tour of South Africa was not related to his shoulder injury.
The report quoted the head of the selection panel, George Bailey, as saying, “The priority of the team has been set in view of the World Cup. It would be best for Steve and Mitchell to join the group in India, by which time we hope they are fully fit.
