Mitch Marsh Signals End Of Shield Career But Leaves Door Ajar For Test Recall: Reports
Allan Border Medal: Mitchell Marsh has notified his Western Australia teammates that this season will be his final one in red-ball cricket at the state level, reports Nine newspapers. The experienced all-rounder has chosen to retire from long-format domestic cricket but hasn't completely dismissed the possibility of being called up for Australia if selectors call on him during the ongoing Ashes campaign.
Marsh’s stance presents a rare scenario: a player stepping back from Sheffield Shield cricket while remaining open to Test duties. Still, the 34-year-old is understood to accept that his chances of adding to his 46 Tests are slim, even as he maintains he would not knock back an opportunity if one were to arise unexpectedly.
The report also suggested that Marsh’s decision follows a poor performance at the MCG against Victoria, where he managed two single-digit scores. His appearances for Western Australia have been limited in recent years, with just nine matches since 2019, a stark contrast to the heavier workload he handled earlier in his career after debuting in 2009.
