Starc ready for Caribbean comeback

Mitchell Starc is planning to get West Indian and South African batsmen hopping around in the Caribbean but concedes he might need a couple of matches to regain his pre-injury pace.

After six months out with a foot fracture, Australia's left-arm quick says he's been bowling pain-free and at good pace during training ahead of his international comeback in next month's one-day tri-series.

"I'm not sure if I'll be back up to top speed straight away, it might take a couple of games as it normally does for fast bowlers coming back," Starc said in Sydney the day before flying out to prepare for the first match on June 5.
