Starc Prepared To Shoulder Added Responsibility As Lone Senior Pacer In Ashes Opener

By IANS News November 19, 2025 • 16:00 PM View: 367

Mitchell Starc: Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc said he’s prepared to shoulder added responsibility due to him being the lone senior pacer in the Ashes series opener, set to begin on Friday at Perth Stadium.

With skipper Pat Cummins, sidelined by back stress issue, and Hazlewood nursing a hamstring strain, Starc will spearhead a light on experience Australian fast bowling unit comprising Scott Boland, debutant Brendan Doggett and all-rounder Cameron Green.

"I think we're all pretty clear on what our roles are. Obviously I've got a little bit more experience there. Scotty's been around for a fair while now, so it's not like I'm telling him what to do.”
