He clearly said that playing Test cricket is one of his priorities. He hoped that the young players coming in the future would also think like this.
There are many players of Mitchell Starc’s team who are part of many leagues including Big Bash, IPL. However, Starc has distanced himself from such a league. Stark was also seen playing brilliantly in the field in the final match of the World Test Championship. Due to his strong game in this match, Australia also got a chance to win by 209 runs.

At the same time, before the important league, the players of the Indian team did not even get a week’s rest or time to practice, which was demonstrated by the players on the field.
this was the fight
Despite their status in world cricket, the eclipse on the Indian team winning the ICC title is not taking the name of postponement and now Rohit Sharma’s team was deprived of the World Test Championship title for the second time in a row after losing by 209 runs to Australia. Chasing a world record target of 444 for victory, all eyes were on Virat Kohli and IPL’s ‘wonder boy’ Ravindra Jadeja on the last day but Scott Boland dismissed both of them in the same over to write the writing on the wall for Australia. Cleared like India lost seven wickets within 70 runs in the first session on the last day and were bundled out for 234 in the second innings.
