Marsh puts bowling on backburner ahead of T20I series against England

Marsh puts bowling on backburner ahead of T20I series against England

The visitors dominated the series, chasing down 156 in under 10 overs in the first T20I, posting a formidable 196 in the second game and comfortably reaching the target of 150 in just 16.1 overs in the third match, completing a 3-0 clean sweep over Scotland.

Reflecting on Australia’s exit from the T20 World Cup following defeats to Afghanistan and India, Marsh remarked, “It feels like a lifetime ago now, that T20 World Cup.

“It was just disappointment: we went there with the hope of winning it, like every other team did, and unfortunately, we didn’t play our best cricket at the right time. In tournament play, that’s what you rely on…there’s a lot of cricket to be played between now and the next World Cup [in 2026] but hopefully I’m there.”

Australia will take on England in a T20I series, starting 11 September in Southampton.
