  1. Mitchell Starc Focused on Two Upcoming Series to Prepare For T20 World Cup Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc is currently preparing for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup which is scheduled to be played in October-November this year. However, Australia has two upcoming series before that which will take place in the next month and it will be a great opportunity to hone their skill for the mega event. “It’s a great opportunity for the group to start preparing with a bit more focus on that World Cup,” said Starc who is also waiting to play in the Test cricket when Australia will take on Afghanistan and then the much-awaited Ashes. “Don’t think I’ve played 10 T20s in the last four years let alone in the space of a few weeks so personally it would be nice to get a bit of a rhythm of T20 cricket,” Mitchell Starc told ESPNcricinfo on Sunday. Notably, this is for the first time Starc could be seen in the T20 World Cup squad as he last featured in the event in 2012. However, he missed the 2016 edition in India due to his injury. And, he will start preparing with the five-match T20I series against the West Indies in the Caribbean, beginning from July 9 and then, a five-match T20I series against Bangladesh as well.

  2. On the other hand, their key player Steve Smith is ready to sacrifice the T20 World Cup so that he could be fit to take part in the Ashes series against their arch-rival as well. “The back end of the summer I was heavily focused on the red-ball so put the white-ball to the side. To prepare for this tour (West Indies) it’s all been white-ball focused with what’s coming up in the next few months. Preparing for shorter spells, more of a focus on staying unpredictable or (using) variations. I don’t change a whole lot in my preparation across the formats but certainly they’ll be a lot more planning and focus on tactically what we’ll take on this series. It’s a very interesting one. For the few multi-format players we all want to play as much cricket as we can, Test cricket is certainly the pinnacle for a lot of us, certainly it is for me, as is a World Cup so it will be hard to pick and choose,” Mitchell Starc concluded.
