Mitchell Starc was born on January 30, 1990, in Baulkham Hills, New South Wales, Australia. He grew up in a middle-class family alongside two siblings. Though much about his family background, including the names of his parents, remains private, Starc is known for keeping his personal life out of the spotlight. While details about his early fascination with cricket are limited, it is evident that he developed an interest in the sport from a young age.
Starc began playing cricket during his school years and quickly stood out in school competitions as a talented batsman. His skills on the field led to his selection in the Under-17 team, where he was initially valued as an all-rounder. Over time, he shifted his focus more heavily toward fast bowling, recognizing the team's need for a strong pace bowler. This change became a turning point in his career as he honed his abilities and emerged as a formidable left-arm fast bowler.
Known for his unorthodox and deceptive bowling style, Starc began to gain attention in Australia’s domestic circuits. Before earning his international cap, he played for New South Wales and developed a reputation as a bowler capable of delivering both pace and swing. He made his Test debut for Australia against New Zealand in 2011—not 2013 as sometimes incorrectly reported—and his One Day International (ODI) debut came earlier in 2010 against India.
Starc rose swiftly through the ranks and became one of the fastest bowlers to reach 100 ODI wickets. His unique ability to swing the ball both ways made him a challenging opponent for batsmen around the world. He also represented various franchises in domestic T20 leagues, increasing his global recognition.
