5 reasons why Mitchell Starc will be missed in Bangladesh

Australia v New Zealand - 3rd Test: Day 1
Starc has been the clear leader of the Australian bowling attack since Johnson's retirement

#3 A great exponent of reverse swing

Australia v Pakistan - 2nd Test: Day 5
Starc has revelled with the old ball as well

Bowling with the new ball is completely different from bowling with a worn out old ball and teams rarely have bowlers who excel with either. Starc for Australia is one such bowler. His ability to swing the ball late makes him a potent weapon with the new ball, but he also revells with the old cherry in hand.

In Sri Lanka last year, Starc breathed fire with the old ball, coming around the wicket to move the ball away from the right handers. The reverse swing and his ability to change the angle of attack made him quite a difficult proposition even on flat tracks. This quality of Starc will be sorely missed in Bangladesh.
