"Suddenly You're In A Different Group": Mitchell Starc Slams T20 World Cup Scheduling

Australia's left-arm fast-bowler Mitchell Starc said he was unhappy over being dropped for the Men's T20 World Cup Super Eights match against Afghanistan last month, adding that fielding eventually led to the side's surprise 21-run defeat at St Vincent. Australia had replaced Starc with left-arm spin all-rounder Ashton Agar for the crucial game against Afghanistan to tie down their batters on a slow spin-aiding pitch. But that move didn't yield desired results as Agar didn't pick any wickets, with openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran having an opening stand of 118 runs, their third century stand of the competition.

Australia Legend Brett Lee Names Best Bowler In The World, It's Not Pat Cummins Or Mitchell Starc

One of the fiercest fast bowlers of his generation, Australia's Brett Lee has heaped praises on Indian star ace Jasprit Bumrah claiming he is the ‘best' bowler in all three formats at the moment. “Their batting order, which includes players who can dominate at every position from top to bottom, speaks volumes.
