Melbourne [Australia]: Australia pacer Mitchell Starc wants his team to win the Ashes series with or without him as he prioritised his team’s triumph over his participation in the series.
Starc did not find a spot in the first Ashes Test match played at Edgbaston. Apart from Starc, the other notable absentee from the playing XI was Josh Hazlewood. Australia played Peter Siddle, Pat Cummins, and James Pattinson in the match.
Starc said that it is winning that matters and he will be fine even if the team sticks with the same bowling attack throughout the series.
“We’re here to win the Ashes. We’re not just here to make it on the park. We want to win this Ashes. Whether that’s a different bowling attack each game, or the same through five Test matches, it’s pretty exciting,” Cricket.com.au quoted Starc as saying.
Pattinson made his way in the playing XI after battling with back injuries. “It’s awesome to see Jimmy (Pattinson) back after what he’s been through and I guess similarly what Pat Cummins has been through previously. It’s a while ago now but to have those guys back fit and firing … it was fantastic to see him (Pattinson) playing Test cricket again,” Starc said.
Starc said that having several pacers to choose from serves a healthy competition within the players and it makes them work harder.
