Marsh’s Ashes Bid Gains Support from WA

Western Australia is considering using Mitch Marsh as an opener in the Sheffield Shield as he prepares for his return to red-ball cricket after nearly a year. Marsh will participate in a One Day Cup match against Victoria before a crucial Shield game later in the week, aiming to demonstrate his capabilities for a potential Ashes call-up. With pressure on Usman Khawaja’s spot, coach Adam Voges is open to the idea of Marsh opening, although the existing partnership of Sam Whiteman and Cameron Bancroft has been solid. Marsh will play without restrictions but is expected to focus solely on batting.
