Christchurch [New Zealand]Feb 13 (ANI): Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh said Saturday he hopes to roll if he is selected against New Zealand in the upcoming T20I series.
Marsh injured his side while bowling for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League (BBL) in January. Last year the all-rounder suffered a serious ankle injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) at SunRisers Hyderabad.
“Yeah, hoping I can roll in the first couple of games if everything goes according to plan. I pushed myself back to almost the full run two days ago. So I’ll get through in the next week and hopefully I think it’s great.” that we have so many opportunities with the ball that I am not under pressure to go back to the first game, “ESPNcricinfo quoted Mitchell Marsh as saying.
Marsh had only played as a batsman for the Perth Scorchers in the team’s last six games in the BBL. In the games he played bowling in, Marsh managed to hit four wickets with a savings rate of only 6.52, and the Scorchers won all of those five games.
Speaking over his batting, Marsh said, “Five and six is a place I’ve been fighting for basically my entire career. I absolutely love that role, and I really enjoyed playing it for the Scorchers, as we did set us up this year, and with the Power Surge it was great for our team with a stacked top spot. If I play for Australia at five or six, I’m really looking forward to it, alongside Stoin (Marcus Stoinis) and Maxy (Glenn Maxwell) and play these guys and hopefully form some good partnerships. “
Australia will play five games against New Zealand in the upcoming T20I series from February 22nd.
