Australia’s T20 captain, Mitchell Marsh, has declared himself fully fit and ready to lead his team in the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Marsh had been sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the early stages of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Speaking about his recovery, he said, “Yeah, look, initially we thought it was a three-weeker. But with tendons, they can take a little bit longer and you’ve sort of got to go on feel. Once I was ruled out of the IPL, we’ve certainly taken our time to get right. And I feel lucky that I’ve had that bit of extra time, a little bit of time at home to refresh. Like all the other boys that have arrived today, I’m absolutely raring to go.”
The all-rounder suffered the injury while playing for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL and hasn’t played since April. His absence was felt both in his IPL team and in the international circuit.
Marsh rejoined his teammates during a training session in Trinidad on Sunday, demonstrating his readiness ahead of Australia’s tournament opener against Oman in Barbados on June 5.
His return is a significant boost for Australia as they aim to reclaim the T20 World Cup title. Marsh’s experience and leadership are expected to play a pivotal role in the team’s campaign.
Cricket enthusiasts around the world will be watching closely as Marsh leads Australia in what promises to be an exciting tournament.
