Australian Fast Bowler Mitchell Starc Plays 100th Test vs West Indies

Mitchell Starc is set to become only the second Australian fast bowler after Glenn McGrath to play 100 Test matches during the third Test against the West Indies at Sabina Park. Reflecting on his journey, Starc highlighted the resilience and sacrifices required to reach this milestone, including managing numerous injuries and often prioritizing national duty over lucrative T20 contracts. Despite a stop-start early career plagued by injuries, he has remained a key member of Australia's pace attack, supported by trainers, physios, and teammates. Starc expressed humility and pride in wearing the 'baggy green cap' 100 times and is close to reaching 400 Test wickets, a feat achieved by few fast bowlers. He downplayed the media attention, focusing instead on the challenge of winning another away Test for Australia. His ability to push through pain and continue contributing to the team has been a defining feature of his career.
