Mitchell Starc said that his body will not be able to sustain pressure for a long time, and he has no intention of extending his career like James Anderson. The left-arm fast bowler, who will be 35 in January, hopes to continue for as long as possible.

To prolong his international career, Starc doesn’t play in T20 leagues. Although he has won almost all the trophies with Australia, he looks forward to the Border-Gavaskar series, the Champions Trophy, and the Ashes.

“I am lucky to be a part of three formats for a long time but I am not sure that how long it will continue. The scheduling is getting tight and tight. I need time to get my body ready for the matches,” Starc said via The Sydney Morning Herald.

“Test cricket is the number one format for me. I am not like James Anderson, who was a part of international setup until he was 40 and had skills to swing it both ways. There are batter bowlers in the country who can do this task. I am looking forward to the summer and I haven’t set any expiry date.”

Starc ended his exile from franchise cricket as he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. He played a significant role in KKR’s third IPL trophy.
