Mitchell Marsh could return to Ashes Squad, says chief selector Bailey
All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has the skills to trouble England and could break back into Australia’s Test squad in time for The Ashes, selectors’ chief George Bailey said on Tuesday. “If you look ahead to a team like England and the way they play their cricket, the way they seem to be framing up their team, I think he’s got a skill set there that could be helpful.” Marsh has played some of his best cricket against England, averaging 47.07 in 10 tests versus his modest career average of 28.53. He faces an uphill battle to break back into the Australian squad, though, with Cameron Green recovering from back surgery and another all-rounder, Beau Webster, impressing against India and Sri Lanka. While two-Test opener Sam Konstas earned his first Australia contract, no decisions have been made as to whether the 19-year-old will be recalled for South Africa after being dropped for the series win over Sri Lanka, said Bailey.
