The Australia Cricket Team has been met with a huge blow. Ace pacer Mitchell Starc is not participating in the ICC Champions Trophy owing to personal reasons. However, his wife Alyssa Healy reveals that the pacer is okay and will be fine. She also claimed that Starc has bowled a lot after taking part in the recent tour of Sri Lanka.
When Starc’s wide Alyssa Healy was questioned on the Willowtalk podcast, she cheekily replied, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know anything about it, I haven’t asked him about it yet.”
Alyssa Healy promises Starc to be fine
Alyssa Healy shook her head when the host questioned if Mitchell Starc had any major injury concerns. He then further claimed that the ace pacer needs rest and is jaded after bowling a lot over the past few months.
“He’s fine everyone. I am fine more importantly. Yeah, we are fine, Move On,” she concluded with a smile. Meanwhile, Healy too will be missing out on the Women’s Premier League (WPL 2025) with an injury. Australian selector George Bailey too claimed that he respects Starc’s decision of missing the tournament.
“We understand and respect Mitch’s decision. Mitch is deeply respected for his commitment to international cricket and the priority he places on performing for Australia,” chair of selectors George Bailey said.
“His well documented ability to play through pain and adversity, as well as forgoing opportunities in other parts of his career to put his country first should be applauded. His loss is of course a blow for the Champions Trophy campaign but does provide an opportunity to someone else to make a mark on the tournament,” Bailey concluded.
