Coach McDonald Backs Mitchell Marsh To Captain Australia In T20 WC
Head Coach Andrew McDonald: Head Coach Andrew McDonald had backed Mitchell Marsh to captain Australia in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA in June and is expected to recommend to the Cricket Australia board that the 32-year-old be handed the reins on a formal basis.
McDonald, who forms a part of the selection panel chaired by George Bailey, will recommend to the Cricket Australia board that the 32-year-old be handed the reins on a formal basis as the role is still up for grabs following Aaron Finch's retirement from the job at the end of 2022.
Marsh has held the leadership role on an unofficial basis since the retirement of Finch after Australia’s failed T20 World Cup campaign in 2022, leading the team to a 3-0 victory in South Africa. Australia also won 2-1 against West Indies at home and Australia swept New Zealand 3-0 in away series.
