T20 WC: He'll Be Back In Contention Over Next Few Games, Marsh Confirms David Will Miss Australia’s Campaign Opener
T20 World Cup: Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh confirmed that Nathan Ellis will be available for selection in their T20 World Cup opener against Ireland on Wednesday, with the fast bowler ticking off his return from a hamstring issue in time for the match, but stated that Tim David will not be rushed back, with the powerful middle-order batter set to miss the clash as he continues to manage his own hamstring recovery.
The Australians are opting for a conservative approach despite David’s strong progress in training. The 29-year-old has not featured in a match since injuring himself on Boxing Day while batting for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash, but since linking up with the national squad in Sri Lanka last week, his workload has steadily increased.
David has taken part in every batting session in Colombo bar Wednesday’s optional practice, and has also completed multiple running and fielding drills, including full-intensity sprints between the wickets in match gear on Tuesday.
