Mitchell Marsh will not play today against India in the fifth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney. Mitchell Marsh was reportedly dropped from the Australian team due to a poor spell with bat and ball. Find out why Mitchell Marsh sat out today’s Test match against India.
Australia had already announced their Playing XI ahead of the SCG Test and revealed that Mitchell Marsh will not play against India today.
Talking about Sydney, Team India’s stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat first. “We look to bat first. We have played some good cricket. The last game was exciting. The herb does not seem spicy. We have always learned to digest defeats. “We will look forward to it,” he said.
India is without its usual captain, Rohit Sharma, who opted to rest for the match.
Why isn’t Mitchell playing today?
In his pre-Test press conference, Australian captain Pat Cummins confirmed that Mitchell Marsh had been dropped from the team. “Mitchy (Mitchell Marsh), obviously doesn’t have the runs, or perhaps the wickets that he would have liked in this series,” Cummins said during the pre-SCG Test press conference.
“So we felt it was time to freshen up and get better, and Beau has been with the team. He’s been great. So it’s a shame for Mitchy, because we know how much he brings to the team, but we feel like now is a good time.” . week so Beau has a chance,” he had added.
Cummins also revealed that Marsh humbly accepted the decision. “He was totally understanding,” Cummins said. “I think his words, yes, were not necessarily taken by surprise. He knows he hasn’t scored the runs or taken the wickets that he would have liked. So that makes you vulnerable,” Cummins said.
Beau Webster replaced Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh has been replaced by Tasmania-based all-rounder Beau Webster. Webster is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He can bat anywhere in the middle order and can also bowl the ball well.
Webster has appeared in 93 First Class games for Tasmania. In these 93 matches, he has scored 5,297 runs at an average of 37.83 with a best of 187. He has also taken 148 wickets at an average of 37.39.
Australia currently leads the series 2-1. If they win the SCG Test, they will book their tickets for the World Test Championship final alongside South Africa. However, India needs to win this game to keep their WTC final hopes alive.
