Captain Marsh’s injury increased the problems

The Australian team is currently struggling badly with the problem of injuries. Captain Mitchell Marsh could not take part in the opening match played against Ireland in Colombo, Sri Lanka due to his injury. The matter of concern for Australia is that key fast bowlers like Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are already out of the team due to injury, and now the captain’s injury is a double blow for the team.

Steve Smith’s explosive comeback

The inclusion of Steve Smith as a backup to Mitchell Marsh is being considered a strong option for Australia. Smith recently had a brilliant performance in the Big Bash League (BBL), where he scored the joint second fastest century in the history of the league. Considering his form and experience, the selectors have decided to include him as cover in the T20 World Cup team.

Last match against Zimbabwe

Australia next face Zimbabwe at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday, February 13. The team management is hopeful that captain Mitchell Marsh will return fit soon, because his aggressive batting and experience in the middle order is very important for the team. However, if he is not fit then Steve Smith can make a place in the playing eleven.
