Mitchell Starc Compared to Wasim Akram

Mitchell Starc has become the most successful left-arm fast bowler in Test history, surpassing Wasim Akram, whom he humbly praises as the GOAT. His evolution over recent years has made him a pivotal part of Australia’s bowling attack, particularly as he leads without the support of key teammates. While Nathan Lyon’s exclusion raised eyebrows, Starc’s consistent performance highlights his importance in shaping the Ashes narrative. As he pursues records, Starc’s fitness and form remain crucial for Australia’s success this summer.
