Mitchell Starc Gets 30 Stitches

Sydney: Australia cricketer Mitchell Starc, whose left shin hit some training equipment, and there was blood oozing out of the wound at Hurstville Oval in southern Sydney.

Starc had to be taken to the hospital, where he had to get 30 stitches, which puts him in doubt for the Test series against South Africa in November. Starc will be in the hospital for two days, and the stitches will only be removed in the next 14-21 days.

Despite the number of stitches, Cricket Australia CA chief medical officer John Orchard is hopeful that the player could be in contention to start the South Africa series.

Even after the stitches are removed, the bowler will need some time to recover, and bowl in full tilt.
