The appointment of Mitchell Marsh as the captain of Australia’s T20I team for the tour of South Africa on Monday (August 7) came as a big surprise to many cricket enthusiasts. The all-rounder replaced the retired Aussie skipper Aaron Finch and will lead the national side for the first time.
It is worth mentioning that the Aussies were without a captain in the shortest format of the game since Finch’s retirement and were desperately looking for a new skipper for a long time. Marsh has come out as a talented all-format player for Australia in recent times.
The Australian management trusting Marsh over other experienced options like Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith and Travis Head further signifies their thinking of considering Marsh for a long run with the team. The right-handed batter is a promising all-format player and has impressed with his talent on many occasions.
