New Delhi:
Shaun Marsh is dropped: Former Kangaroo captain Aaron Finch has said a big thing about Australian all-rounder Shaun Marsh. In fact, Cricket Australia has ignored both Shaun Marsh and Glenn Maxwell from the Australian team announced on Thursday for Sri Lanka. Maxwell was already out of the team, but now after the India tour, Cricket Australia (CA) has dropped Marsh from the team. After this, Aaron Finch has predicted the end of Marsh’s Test career. Finch said in a conversation with a channel, “I think from now on it will be very difficult for Marsh to make a place in the Test team. There is not much Test cricket left in this summer, so Cameron Green will also join the team in the beginning of March. According to me, it is not possible for Marsh to play in the Test team again.
Smith will take command of the team
Now that regular captain Pat Cummins is recovering from an ankle injury. And he is about to become a father, so Cricket Australia has handed over the captaincy of the team to former captain Steve Smith. Star pacer Hazlewood is also not in the team who is recovering from an ankle injury. However, there is full hope that both the players will return to the team for the Champions Trophy. Australia squad for Sri Lanka tour is as follows:
Steve Smith (captain), Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Travis Head (vice-captain), Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstos, Matt Kuhneman, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Nathan McSweene, Top Murphy, Mitchell Stork, Beau Webster
