Mitchell Marsh's Performance In T20 World Cup Would Carry Little Weight In Ashes Selection, Says Selector George Bailey

By IANS News November 15, 2021 • 14:34 PM View: 2414

Australian cricketer Mitch Marsh's incredible performance during the ICC T20 World Cup, especially the final against New Zealand where he clobbered a 50-ball 77, will carry little weight when the team is selected for the Ashes beginning December 8 at the Gabba, Cricket Australia's chairman of selectors George Bailey has indicated.

Marsh made 185 runs at an average of 62 in the UAE and Australian great Ian Healy believes the all-rounder has earned the credentials to be in the Ashes squad. Healy has been quoted as saying that Marsh is the ideal candidate for the No.5 spot in the Ashes side.
