Australia are expecting to have their T20I skipper fit in time for the start of T20 World Cup 2024 even though he is progressing ‘a little slower’ after his hamstring injury. Marsh was ruled out from the Indian Premier League 2024 last month due to a hamstring injury and is poised to lead the Aussies in the T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA.
Marsh has joined his fellow Australian World Cup squad members who are not part of the IPL. Marsh hit the nets and batted at the National Cricket Centre to prepare for the World Cup. Notably, Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald is hoping that Marsh will be fit in time for the global tournament in June. “He’s progressing well. Probably a little slower than expected. But we’ve got plenty of time now that he has been ruled out of the IPL. (Our) first game is just short of a month away now. So ample time for him to get ready,” McDonald said.
