Mitchell Marsh has been serving as the interim captain of Australia’s T20I side for the past year, but the upcoming T20 World Cup will mark his first major tournament as the official skipper. Marsh expressed his excitement about this opportunity, calling it an immense privilege to represent his country and lead the squad in a World Cup.
The team has seen some strong success recently, and Marsh is optimistic that they will continue to perform well in what is expected to be a competitive tournament. Australia will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign against Oman in Barbados on June 5, followed by fixtures against England, Namibia, and Scotland in Group B.
Teams have until May 25 to make changes to their squad, after which any alterations will need approval from the ICC’s Event Technical Committee. Marsh and his team are gearing up for the challenge and aiming to make their mark in the T20 World Cup. The squad for the tournament includes players like Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, David Warner, and Glenn Maxwell, among others.
