Marsh did not feature in DC’s last two matches, against Mumbai Indians on April 7 and Friday’s outing against Lucknow Super Giants. He last played on April 3 in Visakhapatnam where DC suffered a 106-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders after conceding 272. Marsh was out for a duck in that game following moderate returns of 20, 23 and 18 in the first three matches.
He left for Australia immediately after the defeat against MI. It has been learned that a final decision on whether Marsh would be withdrawn from IPL 2024 has not been taken yet.
Marsh has been carefully managed by CA over the last 12 months since returning to being a three-format player, culminating in him winning the Allan Border Medal as Australia’s best men’s player of the year for 2023.
