Mitch Marsh has completed a stunning turnaround from once maligned cricket star to Aussie fan favourite after being named the country’s newest Twenty20 captain. The all-rounder will lead the Australian side during this month’s T20 series in South Africa after Monday’s white-ball team announcements saw Marnus Labuschagne sensationally dropped from the ODI squad.

The towering West Australian will lead a side featuring Steve Smith in three T20 games against the Proteas, while a host of regulars earn breathers ahead of the ODI World Cup in India, beginning in October.
