Mitchell Starc has pulled out of the upcoming ICC event. Hence, Australia will be without all of their three lead pacers for the tournament. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who could replace Mitchell Starc for the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy.
1) Spencer Johnson
Spencer Johnson is the like-to-like replacement for Starc. He is an able candidate who can replicate what Starc does at the ICC events.
Spencer could offer more pace and that could be an advantage for the side. Therefore, he is on this list to replace Starc.
2) Xavier Bartlett could replace Mitchell Starc for ICC 2025 Champions Trophy
Australia does have decent depth and hence, Xavier can fill in as one of the pacers. He adds a bit of variety to the pace attack.
3) Sean Abbott
The bowling all-rounder is an automatic choice whenever any of the three lead pacers of Australia get injured. Hence, he is on this list.
Abbott has the experience to step in for the side. He has done this role well in the past and is capable of doing it again.
