Starc wants introduction of reserve days in World events, says it's a no-brainer

It is a "no brainer" that ICC should introduce reserve days for all World Cup knockout matches, including the men's T20 showpiece later this year, Australian quick Mitchell Starc said on Saturday.

England women's team was left aggrieved on Thursday after its semifinal clash against India was washed out without a ball being bowled and it sent Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. into the summit clash due to their top finish in the group stage.

"In my opinion, it's a no-brainer," Starc was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

"I'm sure if both games were washed out, everyone would be barking mad at the ICC for no reserve days. Considering it's a double header, there's obviously no downside for either team with turnaround for time between finals."
"It's not for me to change the rules. It's up to the ICC. If that's the way they go for our World Cup, I think it needs to be looked at for World Cups and all world events going forward."
