New Delhi | Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc has confirmed that he will miss the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India as he is nursing a finger injury. Starc injured his left index finger in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa and subsequently missed the last match of the series.
Asked about his fitness from Starc, the fast bowler said, “I am on the verge of recovery, still a few weeks and will probably meet the players in Delhi.” Hope to win the first Test and reach Delhi.”
The first Test is to be held in Nagpur from February 9 to 13 and the second in New Delhi from February 17 to 21.
Apart from Starc, Cameron Green has also been battling a finger problem since the Boxing Day Test win over the Proteas. However, Australian coach Andrew McDonald said that Green would be given every chance to prove his fitness ahead of the series opener.
He has not been ruled out, McDonald was quoted as saying. We just want to make sure that we prepare all our players for success and give them every opportunity to prove their fitness.(IANS)
