The Australian team suffered a major setback before the Champions Trophy 2025. When fast bowler Mitchell Starc withdrew his name from the team due to the personal region. Now he himself has given the real reason for not playing in the tournament.
According to the report of ‘Hindustan Times’, Stark said that he was out of the tournament due to some personal reasons and ankle problems.
Stark said that before the Champions Trophy, there was a pain in his ankle in the entire Test series against Sri Lanka. Because of which he took this decision.
Along with this, he told that in the coming time, the World Test Championships are also the final, West Indies Tour and IPL cricket.
