Personal Views, Bit Of Ankle Pain', Starc Reveals Reasons Behind Champions Trophy Absence
ICC World Test Championship Final: Australia quick Mitchell Starc has revealed "ankle pain and personal reasons" were the reasons behind his decision to sit out the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The experienced pacer was initially included in Australia's squad but has withdrawn from the tournament, citing personal reasons, joining skipper Pat Cummins (ankle), fellow quick Josh Hazlewood (hip) and all-rounder Mitch Marsh (back) were already ruled out due to their respective injuries.
Starc elaborated on his withdrawal when speaking on the Willow Talk podcast in Australia and suggested that the main reason he decided not to play at the Champions Trophy was to ensure he would be available to feature in the ICC World Test Championship Final against South Africa in London in June.
