The first test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to start soon at Optus Stadium in Perth. The teams of India and Australia are busy preparing for this match. While Australia will take the field with all its strength for this match, Team India will try to compete without some important players including its captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this test due to the birth of his son. But not only Rohit, but Australian team's star player Mitchell Marsh has also got this happiness. After Indian captain Rohit, Australian all-rounder Marsh has also become a father. However, after this wonderful moment, Marsh has now joined the Australian team and has started preparing for the Perth Test.

Became a father on Sunday, now joins the team

According to Australian media reports, Greta Marsh, wife of 33-year-old explosive batsman and fast bowler Marsh, gave birth to a child on the night of Sunday 17 November. Both of them have received this good news for the first time. According to the information, a daughter has arrived in the house of Marsh couple and since then there is an atmosphere of happiness in the entire family. However, meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh soon joined the team and started preparations at the Optus Stadium, which makes it clear that he will be available to play in the first Test match of the series.

Talking about Rohit, the Indian captain had already told the BCCI that he can sit out of the first Test and after the birth of his son, he had requested to spend time with the family, which was accepted by the Indian Board. Some former Indian cricketers and fans believe that Rohit should have left for Perth after the birth of the child but this did not happen and in this matter the Indian captain is getting a lot of support from India to Australia. On the other hand, Mitchell Marsh joined the team immediately after the birth of his daughter, but there is a big difference here.

Why is the situation of Rohit and Marsh different?

Rohit's son was born in Mumbai and in such a situation it is not easy for him to spend time with his family and then immediately reach Perth for the Test. As far as Marsh is concerned, it is important to know that he lives with his family in Perth, where the first Test of the series is to be played. In such a situation, not only will they get enough time to spend time with their family. Also, Perth Test is like a home match for him because he comes from this city and has been playing cricket for Western Australia. In such a situation, the circumstances of Rohit and Marsh are completely different, hence it would not be right to compare them with each other.
