#virsh start foo  should do if your guest's name is foo

(Just to be clear, .img is the *disk* file name of your guest, usually located under
/var/lib/libvirt/images/foo.img. )

If it still doesn't start and doesn't give an output, try to run the below on the shell
and re-try the virsh command to see if you get any clues:

export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1

Can you please rephrase this?  (generally, yes, you should care about the xml file. It
defines all the attributes of your guest)
