Australia’s current captain Mitchell Marsh last bowled for Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Then he suffered a hamstring injury while playing in the 2024 IPL. That’s why he didn’t take the ball in hand for the last 6 months.
Today Friday (September 27) before the fourth one-dayer against England, Azid’s other pace all-rounder Cameron Greene was knocked out. That’s why after 10 months and 8 days Marsh picked up the ball in Australia’s jersey today. However, he got success in the second over. England’s top order batsman Will Jacks (10) was caught by Marnus Labuchen at backward point.
However, in the last six months, Australia have got several all-rounders in their team. That’s why they didn’t need Marsh’s bowling. However, Australia will undoubtedly need Marsh’s bowling in the upcoming five-match Test series against India. Marsh will be the only pace all-rounder in Ajid’s team if the injured Green fails to recover before November.
Marsh led Australia to a 2-1 lead after winning the first two of the five-match ODI series against England. If they win the fourth match today, the visitors will be sure to win the series one match earlier. And if England wins, the series will return to equality. In that case, Sunday’s fifth match will become an unwritten final.
