Ahead of the side's Group stage game against Namibia on June 12, Australia's head coach Andrew McDonald revealed some scepticism about Marsh's bowling fitness for their T20 World Cup games after having just recovered from an injury.  during the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with DC, which ultimately ruled out the Australia all-rounder for the rest of the tournament. The over the 32-year-old's fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup, only for Marsh to join the camp in time. "We're very hopeful that he will be back ready to bowl in matches. I'd say the likelihood of that against Namibia is very slim, potentially increasing into Scotland, and then I think you should have a clear run at the Super 8s and be able to bowl there. The assumption there is that we qualify and as I said, Namibia first thing and then we can start to work out what it looks like for the Super 8s and beyond," McDonald said ahead of the Namibia game.
