NEW DELHI: Pace spearhead Mitchell Starc is expected to "push through" the discomfort of a rib injury to play in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar series, which starts in Sydney on Friday, according to Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey.
With assistance from the team's physiotherapists, the 34-year-old left-hand quick bowled well despite suffering from sore ribs on day three of the Boxing Day Test, but his fitness is still the key concern for the hosts.
