Disappointed with losing series against Pakistan but looking forward to rejoining Australian squad for next tour: Australian all-rounder

 

Injured Mitchell Marsh will join IPL team outside Pakistan tour



Prominent Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is leaving the team to recover from a hip injury. In a statement, the Australian Cricket Board said that Mitchell Marsh has been released from the squad following an injury diagnosis and will not be available for selection in the remaining three matches of the tour of Pakistan (two ODIs and one T20).

Mitchell Marsh will travel to India to join the Delhi Capitals squad, where former Australian and current New South Wales physiotherapist Pat Farhart will join the team after quarantine. The Australian team's medical staff considered it the most effective way for Mitchell Marsh to recover quickly without interrupting his recovery.

Making a trip and having the option to zero in on recuperation without isolation is the most effective way. I am disappointed to have lost the series against Pakistan but look forward to rejoining the Australian squad for my next tour," said Marshall.

 

Earlier, former Australian captain and senior batsman Steve Smith and fast bowler Ken Richardson were also ruled out of the series due to fitness issues.
