I won't be bowling early in T20 WC 2024: Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh
The T20 World Cup 2024 will be Marsh's first ICC event as a skipper of the Aussie squad.
New Delhi [India], : Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh said he won't be bowling early in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
Earlier, Marsh suffered a hamstring injury during the first half of the Indian Premier League , where he was taking part for the Delhi Capitals . Following that he has not played any games in the T20 tournament.
The Australia all-rounder hoped that in the next 10-12 days he will be available fully for the Aussies.
"Yeah, I won't be bowling early on in the tournament. And I always joke as captain - I hope I won't bowl late in the tournament either. But yeah, I'll progress that slowly over the next 10-12 days and hopefully be available for them at the back end of the tournament," Marsh was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying.
The skipper further added that it takes a lot of time for the players to reach the West Indies from Australia for which it will be a bit challenging for them.
"We have still got [Mitchell] Starc and Maxi [Glenn Maxwell] to arrive this morning, or lunchtime. But after that we are all here. I think for the guys to get a couple of days at home is really important for us as a group and for them personally. Obviously, it takes a few days to get here from Australia so that adds a few challenges but they'll be ready to go come the 5th," he added.
The T20 World Cup 2024 will be Marsh's first ICC event as a skipper of the Aussie squad.
