Mitchell Johnson’s Warning For Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood

Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson has warned fast-bowling spearheads Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood for their possible burnout due to the busy international schedule ahead.

Starc and Hazlewood have led Australia’s pace bowling line-up for two years now and the selectors are yet to come up with any possible replacement to aid them in the long run.

“There’s a lot of cricket going on and there’s a lot of burnout,” Johnson, told to Talk Sport’s Cricket Week podcast.

“I can see it with the Australian quicks now, looking at Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood.

“They had a little bit of a break before the summer started, they missed out (on playing) in South Africa. That (tour) was a disaster for Australia.

“I can see a number of overs that they are bowling, I can see with body language with certain guys, it will catch up with them.

“It’s very difficult and where do you draw the line?

“It is very difficult for a lot of the cricketers. You just have to manage yourself the best you can because you want to play every game.”

Australia has a packed calendar ahead as they are set to play a four-match Test series against India in February/March which follows the Indian Premier League and Champions Trophy. Post that, they are scheduled to play a homes Ashes series.

The stats show that Australian pacers are being over-utilized as since December 2014, Josh Hazelwood tops the list of bowling most overs in Test cricket with 1295.1 overs. Mitchell Starc comes third in the list by virtue of bowling 1061.3 overs.
