Michell Marsh

Australian star all-rounder Mitchell March has flown back home to Australia for personal reasons for an indefinite period. However, Australian fans would be expecting Marsh to come back and be available in the semi-final stages if Australia manages to qualify which is likely given their remaining matches against are against are England, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.

Mitchell Marsh has been quite an important player for Australia in the past few years, especially in the white ball format. Mitchell Marsh and David Warner opened for Australia in the first half of the tournament in the absence of injured Travis Head and did their job quite successfully including a 200-plus run opening stand against Australia. But once Travis Head came back in the side, March was pushed back to the No.3 slot where he struggled against New Zealand.

Mitchell Marsh has been in and out of the Australian squad throughout his career and recently he started getting back to his mojo and became an integral part of the Australian whiteball setup. This World Cup is an important stage in Mitchell Marsh’s career and he was doing well too. So, now as the tournament is approaching its business end, the unavailability of Mitchell Marsh will have a jarring effect on Australia’s scheme of things going forward.

Freakish injuries plaguing Australian Camp

Recently, the Australian team has been going through a bizarre period, where their key players are suffering from freakish injuries. First, their premier leg-spinner Adam Zampa crashed with the swimming pool wall, then their key all-rounder Marcus Stoinis sustained a calf niggle after the Pakistan match and the now star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell who broke the record of the fastest century in the World Cup against Netherlands is now ruled out the all-important clash against England due to concussion after falling from a golf cart.

Amidst all this, Mitchell Marsh leaving for Australia for an indefinite period is a major jolt for Australia’s campaign. Though it’s time to worry for the Australian camp, these bizarre injuries got some hilarious reactions from cricket fans around the world on “X” formerly known as Twitter.
