Mitchell Starc, after spending six months on the sideline, and missing the World T20, is set to make a comeback in the forthcoming tri-series, starting June 3.
The Australian speedster was out with an ankle injury, for which he got operated, since November last year during the day night Test against New Zealand.
Starc, meanwhile, has insisted that he recovered fully, and now ready to play competitive cricket in the tri-series, featuring West Indies, Australia and South Africa.
“It’s been a long time coming. The foot has been great, there’s no pain in the ankle or the foot,” Starc said. “I’ve been really happy with it, it’s come along really well.”
“I’ve had a good three or four months in gym to get a bit of size back on, and I’m feeling really good; fit, strong and ready to play some cricket.”
Starc, however, said that he will take some time to get back in the rhythm, but insisted that he is looking forward to get back on the field once again.
“I’m not sure if I’ll be back up to top speed straight away,” Starc insisted. “It might take a couple of games as it normally does for fast bowlers coming back, but I’m excited to see how it comes out on the gun.”
