Mitchell Marsh: First Pat Cummins, then Josh Hazlewood, then Tim David and now Mitchell Marsh got injured. Once again a mountain of sorrows has fallen on the Australian team which came with the intention of winning the T20 World Cup. Australian captain Mitchell Marsh got injured before the match against Ireland. Marsh got injured during batting practice. A ball hit his abdominal guard and after that there are reports that blood started coming out from his private parts.

Smith was called for T20 World Cup

After Mitchell Marsh suffered such a dangerous injury, the Australian selectors have called Steve Smith for the T20 World Cup. Smith will join the Australian team as standby. It is not certain whether Marsh will play in the next match yet. After investigation it will be known whether Smith will be able to play further or not. If this happens then Smith will get a place in the Australian team.

Smith is in great form

Talking about Steve Smith, this player is in great form at the moment. Smith is underestimated in the T20 format but this player recently performed amazingly in the Big Bash League. While playing for Sydney Sixers, he scored 299 runs in 6 innings at an average of more than 59. His strike rate was also 167.97. Smith scored a century in just 42 balls against Sydney Thunder, while he also scored 2 half-centuries with his bat.

Grim news on Mitch Marsh. Coped a blow to the groin in training earlier this week and scans confirmed internal testicular bleeding. He is out for Australia's opening match. Steve Smith joining the squad in SL as standby player. Hope Mitch recovers quickly.
