"I have loved every minute of every T20 game I have played for Australia, particularly the 2021 World Cup, not just because we won but the incredible group and the fun along the way. Looking ahead to an away Indian test tour, the Ashes and an ODI World Cup in 2027, I feel this is my best way forward to remain fresh, fit and at my best for those campaigns."
"Mitch should be incredibly proud of his T20 career for Australia, said Bailey. He was an integral member of the 2021 World Cup-winning side and, as across all his cricket, had a great skill for blowing games open with his wicket-taking ability. We will acknowledge and celebrate his T20 career at the right time, but pleasingly, he remains focused on continuing to play test and ODI cricket for a long as possible."
Mitchell Starc has retired from Twenty20 internationals to concentrate on extending his career in Test and ODI cricket. He finishes with 79 wickets from 65 T20Is, placing him second on Australia's all-time T20 wicket list behind Adam Zampa. Test cricket is his highest priority and he aims to remain fresh and fit for an away India tour, the Ashes and the 2027 ODI World Cup. The retirement gives the bowling group time to prepare for the T20 World Cup and opens a clearer pathway for emerging fast bowlers. Selectors and Cricket Australia praised his wicket-taking ability, World Cup contributions and sacrifices for the national team.
