“All of it is dependent upon what he desires. He’s 34, I retired once I was 33, and Jimmy (James) Anderson remains to be shifting the ball at 41. It is about how a lot recreation time he will get and the way he and his physique are having fun with it,” he stated.

Regardless of Australia clinching a win within the World Cup last final 12 months in opposition to India, McGrath stated gamers from Down Below nonetheless wrestle to deal with the situations.

“It is simply the angle of the Australian sports activities individuals – they’re very aggressive and again themselves to carry out on the large stage,” he stated.
