‘I’d like to milk my body for Test cricket’: Mitch Starc on his love for longest format

Mitch Starc showcased his prowess in Test cricket by taking on Bangladesh's batting lineup twice, dismantling them in each innings to secure a series draw. After a nine-wicket loss in the first Test, Starc took six wickets in the first innings and added four more in the second, as Australia restricted Bangladesh to 65 and 94. Australia's 210-run innings proved to be the decisive factor in the outcome.

Despite not being at their optimal performance in the first Test, Starc acknowledged Bangladesh's strong showing. He later expressed his satisfaction with the week's performance, stating that they played exactly what they expected from themselves, especially on a wicket that favored the bowling side. Starc, who has played 107 Tests and amassed 445 wickets, admitted that Test cricket remains his ultimate goal.

He expressed his love for the format and his commitment to Australian Test cricket, stating his desire to "milk his body for all I can for Test cricket."
