Is Marsh’s Test career over? Star all-rounder set to retire from first-class cricket
Mitchell Marsh will retire from Western Australia’s Sheffield Shield but remains available for Australia’s Test team, prioritizing white-ball cricket as the national captain.
- On Sunday, Mitchell Marsh informed Western Australia teammates he will retire from the Sheffield Shield at season's end, while the WACA said he remains open to playing Test cricket for Australia.
- As Australia's white-ball captain, Marsh is deeply committed to the Perth Scorchers and scored just 13 runs last week in his Shield return at the MCG after playing nine matches for WA since 2019.
- Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said selectors would be comfortable picking Mitchell Marsh for Tests out of white-ball cricket, though selecting someone without recent first-class games would be highly unusual.
- The decision likely ends Marsh's state first-class career as he has probably played his last match for Western Australia, leaving Australia Test selectors uncertain about his Test selection without Sheffield Shield play.
- There are no more Sheffield Shield matches this year and Marsh will join Australia's T20 side for the World Cup next year, but his injury history means he may not play another Test.
