"Tests [are] always first - far above white-ball," said Starc, whose 4-47 steered Australia to an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series against England on Saturday. Starc is expected to be a vital cog in the team's 2023 World Cup plans. He has also indicated a desire to play in the 2024 T20 World Cup, to be held in the West Indies and the USA.
