The Australian international cricketer Mitchell Starc, who plays for New South Wales in the Domestic and Australian National team, has announced that he will be using Alyssa Healy, his wife's bat.
Starc is probably the first cricket player in history to use his wife's cricket bat.
Mitchell Starc revealed that he has been using his wife's bat to play for the last seven months, and now, he prefers Alyssa's bat instead of the one he was using before.
Starc told the media that Alyssa did not even know the bat wasn't there. One day, he was at home, cleaning out a few cricket bags and found it.
Mitchell Starc informed that her bat is slightly lighter than the one he used and was bowling quickly.
Mitchell Starc gave his wife Alyssa's bat credit as he was able to deliver runs in the Ashes. The Australian cricketer recorded the highest Test Score after nearly four years against the Indian team in the WTC final.
In the second innings of the marquee clash, Starc hit 41 runs off 72 balls, which helped Australia win by 209 runs. Moreover, he played another game in the Ashes series.
Mitchell Starc revealed that this wasn't the first time he took Alyssa's bat. The couple had also swapped their bats. In the 2016-17 season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), Healy scored 55 runs off 38 balls against Sydney Thunder. Besides this, in another game, she scored an impressive 46 off 31 balls against Perth.
The Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy plays for the women's national team of Australia and New South Wales in domestic. In 2010, she made her ODI debut against New Zealand before getting into the T20I area in the same year again against New Zealand.
In 2018, Alyssa was awarded the title ICC T20 Player of The Year after her impressive performances that put Australia in the fourth spot in the ICC World T20 title.
In 2022, she was selected as the vice-captain of Australia as Rachel Haynes retired. Hence, Alyssa became the seventh woman to captain a T20I in Australia when she footed for Meg Lanning on India's tour.
Mitchell Starc was once a wicketkeeper in junior cricket, and now he is the most feared batsman in the world. He is one of the most amazing fast bowlers of all time, and his ability to swing the ball at pace and his classic left-arm action have made him quite famous.
In 2022, Starc became the fastest bowler to 200 one-day international wickets, obscuring Saqlain Mushtaq's 23-year benchmark.
