Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has joined the list of players with injuries on their tour of Sri Lanka, with the charismatic cricketer suffering a calf injury before the third T20I which the hosts won by four wickets at Pallekele on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Marsh is likely to miss the first two ODIs of the five-match series beginning in Pallekele on June 14.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 30-year-old Marsh joins pace bowler Mitchell Starc -- who sliced his index finger in a freak injury and is unlikely to return till the backend of the ODI series -- and Sean Abbott, who has returned to Australia with a broken finger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, reinforcements have arrived for the tourists ahead of the ODIs in the form of Test captain Pat Cummins and all-rounder Cameron Green, while Marnus Labuschagne is the other addition from outside the T20 squad, according to cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The report said that the three will begin training in Kandy on Monday, though Travis Head is unlikely to be a part of the ODI setup as he continues to remain with the Australia A squad ahead of their four-day games in Hambantota.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jhye and Kane Richardson, who were clobbered in Sri Lanka's nerve-wracking win at Pallekele on Saturday, have also been kept in contention despite the duo initially not selected for the ODIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With key bowler Adam Zampa absent due to the birth of his child, Mitchell Swepson, who made his ODI debut in Pakistan earlier this year, could get a look-in to pair with spinner Ashton Agar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We're missing a couple of Mitches there but I think Pat (Cummins) will come back in," Josh Hazlewood, speaking about the T20Is, told cricket.com.au. "We'll have a look at the wicket, maybe (bring in) another spinner, who knows."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australian pace bowlers Hazlewood, Jhye and Kane Richardson came in for some punishment during the superb onslaught that revived a run chase that had appeared completely out of reach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
