Starc, who is currently in India for World Cup 2023, said that with grounds getting smaller and wickets becoming flatter, bowlers need some respite. “If anything in world cricket, wickets have gotten flatter and I think if you look at some of that old footage when they bowled with one ball, reverse swing comes into it a lot more, that actually brings the bowlers back into the game, and I don’t think it’s any secret that one day cricket and probably T20 cricket as well is a batter’s game and bowlers just have to hang on,” he stated.
