India vs Australia 2017: 5 possible replacements for Mitchell Starc

Jason Behrendorff

First-class: 27, Wickets: 114, Average: 22.64

A like for like replacement for Starc would be someone in the mould of Behrendorff, who is a spritely left arm pacer with the ability to induce swing in his delivery, an art Starc has mastered over the years.

He made a sensational comeback from injury this month, picking nine wickets against Perth in a Sheffield Shield game, the fifth best figures in the history of the tournament. His watershed season in domestic cricket came in 2013-14, when he snared a total of 40 victims, second only to Steve O’Keefe.

His red hot form warrants a selection, but his record with injuries is the only case against him.
