Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc said in an interview to Sydney Morning Herald, ‘The team management had shown confidence in Ashton Agar because the spinners had performed well in the last match on this ground. But Afghanistan’s batsmen played the spin bowling well. They understood the situation. Meanwhile, we made some mistakes, for which we had to suffer the consequences.’
ICC did not make proper arrangements – Mitchell Starc
by Mitchell Starc Along with the team management, he has also targeted the ICC. In this tournament, some matches were played during the day and some at night. Therefore, Mitchell Starc has expressed his displeasure over the schedule of the tournament. Mitchell Starc said-
“In the group stage, we were ahead of England and suddenly we came in the second group. We had to play 2 matches at night and the third match in the day. So we could not prepare fully. We did not get enough time to prepare for the match. Our flight was late and the airport was one and a half hours away from the hotel. Then the very next day we had to go to the field to play the match.”
