Starc, one of the world's top white-ball bowlers, was seen limping and practising in pain during a nets session at the ICC Academy here on Wednesday evening. The left-arm pacer suffered an injury just above his right knee while bowling during a net session on Tuesday evening and was clearly feeling uneasy.
Although Starc was seen bowling with a sleeve on his right leg on Wednesday according to a report, he was seen running out of the net with the help of medical staff and suffering from pain before going for treatment.
