Sydney, December 20: Mitchell Starc has been cleared of serious injury but the star Australia paceman remains in doubt for the Boxing Day Ashes Test against England.

Cricket Australia confirmed Starc only had a bruised heel after the bowler underwent scans in Sydney on Wednesday (December 20).

Starc was diagnosed with a bruised heel on Monday (December 18) but the 27-year-old still bowled at the WACA in Perth, where Steve Smith's side won by an innings and 41 runs, as Australia reclaimed the Ashes by taking an unassailable 3-0 series lead.

The left-armer – who finished with figures of 1-44 having taken 4-91 in the first innings – will join his team-mates in Melbourne later this week.

The fourth and penultimate Ashes Test gets underway at the MCG on Tuesday (December 26).
