Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the Australia national team’s one-day international (ODI) series after sustaining an injury during a match in the Indian Premier League.
The Australian cricket captain will be assessed for availability on a case by case basis. If he is not available, England’s Josh Inglis has been named as his replacement to lead Australia against Pakistan starting from Saturday’s final ODI at Lucknow Super Giants ground in India.
This situation arises due to Marsh being away for treatment and the ongoing IPL playoffs that Pat Cummins, another Australian player, is participating in. With no third-choice captain available because of his commitments elsewhere, Josh Inglis from Australia’s Twenty20 side will lead as he has not yet played a first class match.
The timeline for the ongoing ODI series and potential outcomes include decisions based on Marsh’s recovery status which is currently under assessment in Perth. The next significant step involves determining whether Inglis, who has never led Australia at this level before, will be able to lead a full team or if additional players might need to fill the wicketkeeper role temporarily.
