Marsh to miss ODI series against Pakistan

Lahore, March 28 : Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is likely to miss the One-Day series against Pakistan after sustaining an injury during training drill, captain Aaron Finch said. Cameron Green is likely to replace injured Marsh in the first ODI on Tuesday. “I don’t think he will be available for this series based on how he was feeling. He sustained that yesterday (Sunday) in a fielding drill. It was a high intensity, lateral movement drill. He bent down to pick it up one-handed and went to throw and felt a twinge in his hip flexor,” cricket.au.com quoted Finch as saying. Green played a crucial role in Australia’s series-deciding third Test victory with a vital 79 in the first innings and went on to claim the wicket of in-form opener Abdullah Shafique. “He will probably bat in that middle-order. We are seeing that he’s a super talented cricketer. He is someone who has been quite consistent in his Test career so far. His impact with the bat and ball can’t be underestimated. I’m really excited for Cam to get that opport ty,” said Finch. BAV RKM
