Starc: Scans reveal stress fracture

Adelaide - Mitchell Starc has had scans on his right foot after leaving the field in discomfort during the third Test against New Zealand in Adelaide.

Cricket Australia physiotherapist David Beakley said: “Mitchell had scans on his right foot this evening which have indicated an early stage stress fracture of his third metatarsal.

“A decision on his return to play will be determined in due course.”

Starc will remain with the squad in Adelaide and will be able to bat if required but will not bowl.
