Meanwhile, Australian team coach Andrew McDonald has backed Mitchell Marsh for the upcoming World Cup. According to media reports, the star all-rounder may be given the responsibility of leading the team in the tournament. Marsh led the team in the recent series against West Indies and New Zealand.
The schedule of T20 World Cup 2024 has been released. This tournament, which is going to be hosted by America and West Indies, will start from June 1. All the teams have started preparations for this tournament. However, the decision regarding Australia's captaincy has not been taken yet. In fact, after the resignation of Aaron Finch, Australia's T20 team has been led by Mitchell Marsh, while Pat Cummins led the team to victory in the ODI World Cup 2023 played in India. There has been a debate on this issue among all the stalwarts of the cricket world.
Who Will Be The Captain Of The T20 Team?
Meanwhile, Australian team coach Andrew McDonald has backed Mitchell Marsh for the upcoming World Cup. According to media reports, the star all-rounder may be given the responsibility of leading the team in the tournament. Marsh led the team in the recent series against West Indies and New Zealand. At the same time, experienced wicketkeeper Matthew Wade was also used in the team.
Now a report has come out in which the team coach has praised Mitchell Marsh. "We are pleased and comfortable with the way Marsh has been able to work with the T20 team. We believe he is a World Cup leader, and I think the time has come," McDonald was quoted as saying in the report. But it will happen."
Former Captain Supported Marsh
Australia's 32-year-old all-rounder scored 1432 runs and took 17 wickets in 54 T20 international matches. In this, he has nine half-centuries recorded in his name. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has also supported Mitchell Marsh. He said, "he will be the T20 captain. He deserves it. He has matured a lot as a player. He is definitely a leader.This has not happened only in the last few months. I remember five or six years ago, when Justin Langer took over as the coach of the Australian team, he made Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head joint vice-captains of the Test team. So as far as Mitchell Marsh is concerned, the selectors have seen him as a captain."
