Mitchell Starc recalled for the final T20I vs India
Fast bowler Mitchell Starc has been called into the Aussie squad for the third and final T20I against India that will take place at the SCG in Sydney on November 25. Starc has been asked to replace fast bowler Billy Stanlake, who injured his ankle during a fielding drill ahead of the second T20I at the MCG.
Starc's last T20I came way back in 2016 and his last game in the format at home was way back in 2014 as Australia have been managing his workload in a bid to keep him fit for the important tournaments.
"(Starc has) got so much experience in the limited-overs games as well and we've seen how dominant he can be when he gets it right with the ball," captain Aaron Finch said ahead of the third T20I.
