Will Mitchell Marsh get fit in time for T20 World Cup 2024? Australia’s head coach gives big update

Australia expect to have their T20I skipper fit in time for the beginning of T20 World Cup 2024 regardless that he’s progressing ‘somewhat slower’ after his hamstring harm. Marsh was dominated out from the Indian Premier League 2024 final month resulting from a hamstring harm and is poised to guide the Aussies in the T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA.

Marsh has joined his fellow Australian World Cup squad members who will not be a part of the IPL. Marsh hit the nets and batted on the National Cricket Centre to organize for the World Cup. Notably, Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald is hoping that Marsh will likely be fit in time for the worldwide match 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 stated. 

Marsh will not bowl for two weeks: McDonald

Notably, the coach additional added that the all-rounder will not be bowling for two weeks and can resume that responsibility solely every week earlier than the staff leaves for the World Cup. “You in all probability will not see him bowl in the subsequent couple of weeks right here. It’ll in all probability occur the week earlier than we depart. And then he’ll be capable of ramp that up after we’re over there.

“We’ll be able to cherry-pick the moments during the tournament where he’ll be useful with the ball, (and) we’ve got some all-round depth in the squad, which gives us good coverage anyway,” he added.

Notably, if wanted, Aussies produce other management choices together with the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup winning-captain Pat Cummins. “We’ve got ample depth in the leadership space there with Matthew Wade, who’s led before when Mitch hasn’t been available. And obviously, Pat Cummins has some leadership qualities,” 

The Aussies are positioned in Group B of the worldwide match alongside England, Namibia, Oman and Scotland. They will open their marketing campaign towards Oman on sixth June in Barbados.
