Selectors Consider Mitchell Marsh for Ashes Return Amid Injury Concerns

News summary

Mitchell Marsh remains a potential candidate for Australia's Test squad ahead of the Ashes, according to chief selector George Bailey. Despite being dropped after poor performances against India and missing the Sri Lanka tour due to injury, Marsh's retention in Australia's contracted players list for the 2025/26 season reflects selectors' belief in his abilities. Bailey highlighted Marsh's impressive average of 47.07 against England, suggesting his skill set could be advantageous against their bowling attack. However, competition for spots is fierce, with Cameron Green returning from injury and Beau Webster performing well in recent matches. Marsh's future as a bowler is uncertain, as he focuses on batting for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, but Bailey maintains that his red-ball career is not over. As Australia prepares for the World Test Championship final against South Africa, Marsh's path back into the Test side remains open, depending on performances and the evolving team dynamics.
