Mitchell Marsh Back In Ashes Frame After Surprise Sheffield Shield Return
Boxing Day Test: Mitchell Marsh is back in Ashes contention, with Australia’s T20I captain set for a surprising return to Sheffield Shield cricket in early December — and potentially in an entirely different role at the top of the order.
The 34-year-old all-rounder, who hasn’t played a first-class match since being dropped after last year’s Boxing Day Test and hasn’t appeared for Western Australia in the Shield since October 2024, had joked earlier this month that he’d be “six beers deep” in the stands for the first Test in Perth.
However, Marsh is now expected to take part in WA’s round-six match against Victoria at the MCG starting December 4, after playing a one-day game against Victoria on December 2, according to ESPNCricinfo.
