In the early rounds of the T20 World Cup 2024, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh is determined to avoid bowling. Marsh would not be rolling his arm in Australia’s opening match against Oman, head coach Andrew McDonald has already disclosed. Because players like Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc dominate the important stages of the game, the Australian all-rounder hasn’t touched the ball in a while.
However, because the squad needs to make room for Adam Zampa in the middle, Marsh won’t work. There is no space left for Marsh to fill in because Glenn Maxwell is too eager to bowl. He is reluctant to bowl in the first round of the World Cup because of the hamstring injury he sustained before the 2024 Indian Premier League. In the second half of the competition, he hopes to be able to return to the fight after recuperating.
“Yes, I’ll be skipping the early rounds of the event. As captain, I also like to joke that I hope I won’t bowl late in the competition. But sure, I’ll work on that gradually over the course of the next ten to twelve days, and perhaps I’ll be ready for them when the tournament is almost complete, Marsh stated, according to ESPNcricinfo.
It seems vital to me that the boys spend a few days at home. Mitchell Marsh
The Australian players included in the T20 World Cup roster have not yet arrived in New York. Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis, who competed in the Indian Premier League 2024, have been preparing for a major tournament by spending time with their families. During an intense cricket season, Marsh gave an update on the main players and stressed the value of spending time with family.

“Mitchell Starc and Maxi [Glenn Maxwell] are still scheduled to arrive this morning, or around lunchtime. However, we are all together here now. For the guys as well as for us as a group, I believe it is crucial that they spend a few days at home. They will be prepared to go by the fifth, he said, although it will undoubtedly present some issues given that it takes a few days for them to travel from Australia.
