Due to a finger injury, Mitchell Starc will be unable to play in the New Year’s Test in Sydney.
The 32-year-old left the field briefly on day one of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa on Monday after being whacked on his left middle finger while attempting a catch in the MCG outfield.
Later, it was noticed that the left-arm pacer had thick strapping on the tip of his finger.
“He‘ll play this Test in great discomfort, but it’s at least six weeks recovery,” cricket reporter Peter Lalor told SEN.
“It’s tendon damage to that middle finger, that bowling finger.”
UPDATE: There is a cloud over Starc’s involvement in the rest of this Test after Nathan Lyon admitted the fast bowler’s middle finger “doesn’t look the greatest”.@LouisDBCameron | #AUSvSA https://t.co/n0c1KKak1P

India vs Australia
The India vs Australia rivalry has grown exponentially over the years. With a place in the WTC Final up for grabs, it is expected to be another cracker of a series. India have not lost the BGT in their last three attempts. Australia hasn’t won in India since 2004. An exciting four-match Test series waits.
The Australia tour of India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will kickstart in Nagpur from the 9th of February. Team India will then play the next three Test matches in Delhi, Dharamsala & Ahmedabad. This will also be the last edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which will be a 4-match Test series feature.
