Australia's captain Mitchell Marsh has declared his readiness to contribute with the ball during the Super Eight phase of the T20 World Cup, following his recovery from a hamstring strain. So far in the tournament, Marsh has been limited to his batting prowess as Australia maintained an undefeated record in the initial group stage.
Despite not being required to bowl yet, Marsh provides Australia with a medium pace option, which could come into play starting with their upcoming match against Bangladesh in Antigua on Thursday. "I'll be available to bowl," Marsh confirmed to reporters, emphasizing the team's depth in bowling options and the importance of versatility in T20 cricket.
Australia strategically rested fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in their recent game against Scotland, opting instead for spinners Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar, and Glenn Maxwell to deliver crucial overs. Marsh refrained from speculating on whether Australia would reintroduce their frontline pacers against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, where Zampa's four-wicket haul played a pivotal role in their victory over Namibia.
