Marsh Puts Bowling On Backburner Ahead Of T20i Series Against England

## Marsh puts bowling on backburner ahead of T20I series against England Mitchell Marsh has put his bowling on the backburner ahead of Australia's Twenty20 international series against England, with the all-rounder set to focus on his batting for the time being. Marsh has been struggling with a side strain in recent months, and he aggravated the injury while bowling in Australia's recent one-day international series against India. The 30-year-old missed the last two ODIs of that series, and he has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against England as a result of the injury. Marsh said he was disappointed to miss the T20I series, but he was confident he would be fit to return to bowling in the near future. "It's frustrating to miss any cricket, but especially a home series against England," Marsh said. "But I'm confident I'll be back bowling soon, and I'm looking forward to getting back out there and helping the team." Marsh has been one of Australia's most consistent performers in recent years, and he was a key member of the team that won the 2021 T20 World Cup. He is expected to return to the Australian team for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies, which starts on November 30. ### Injury concerns Marsh's injury concerns come at a time when Australia is already without several key players. David Warner, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood are all out injured, and their absence has left a big hole in the team. However, Marsh is confident that Australia can still perform well in the T20I series against England. "We've got a lot of depth in our squad, and I'm sure the guys who come in will do a great job," Marsh said. "We're all looking forward to the challenge of playing against England, and we're confident we can win the series." ### Australia's T20I squad Australia's T20I squad for the series against England is as follows: * Aaron Finch (c) * Sean Abbott * Ashton Agar * Alex Carey * Cameron Green * Tim David * Josh Inglis * Mitchell Marsh * Glenn Maxwell * Jhye Richardson * Steve Smith * Mitchell Starc * Marcus Stoinis * Adam Zampa
