NEW DELHI: Mitchell Starc pulled out of this month's event in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates for personal reasons and Australia will attempt to win the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time since 2009 using a completely new pace bowling line-up.
As the only player from Australia's "big three" fast bowling attack to participate in all seven Test matches against India and Sri Lanka this summer, Starc will be sidelined for the match along with fellow quick Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins (ankle).
