India vs Australia: All-rounders important for team balance ahead of ODI World Cup, says Mitchell Marsh

Firstpost  

Mumbai: Mitchell Marsh feels having more allrounders will provide Australia “flexibility and depth” which will be key as they look to experiment with their line-up in the ODI series, keeping in mind the upcoming 50-over World Cup in India. “We’ve seen really good teams in the past, England have guys batting at No 8 who are genuine batters, and it gives you the ability to either set really big totals or chase big totals.” Marsh expects the series as well as the upcoming World Cup to be high-scoring affair. “It is going to be a high scoring world cup … from my experience it is nice to have options to go to, to change things up, try and change the momentum of the games, the more options the better.” Marsh said while Australia will look to experiment the focus will be on winning the series and not think too far ahead at the World Cup. “Hopefully we can play some good cricket, entertain some big crowds and win a few games for Australia.” Marsh, who is coming off a long injury lay-off after undergoing an ankle surgery in December 2022, said he will play as a batter in this series as he is still about a month away from bowling again.
