Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has announced his retirement from T20Is, effective immediately.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old, one of Australia\u2019s greatest white-ball cricketers, retires from the game\u2019s shortest formats with 79 T20I wickets at 23.81. He also helped Australia win the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cTest cricket is and has always been my highest priority,\u201d Starc said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have loved every minute of every T20 game I have played for Australia, particularly the 2021 World Cup, not just because we won but the incredible group and the fun along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking ahead to an away Indian Test tour, the Ashes and an ODI World Cup in 2027, I feel this is my best way forward to remain fresh, fit and at my best for those campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also gives the bowling group time to prepare for the T20 World Cup in the matches leading into that tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief of selectors George Bailey continued: \u201cMitch should be incredibly proud of his T20 career for Australia,\u201d selection chief George Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was an integral member of the 2021 World Cup winning side and, as across all his cricket, had a great skill for blowing games open with his wicket taking ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will acknowledge and celebrate his T20 career at the right time, but pleasingly he remains focused on continuing to play Test and ODI cricket for a long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
