Australian cricket star Mitchell Marsh, who took an unexpected leave from the World Cup 2023 squad due to personal reasons on November 2, is all set to make a triumphant return to the team on November 5 in Mumbai.

Marsh’s sudden departure from the squad, which left both teammates and fans surprised, was necessitated by a family matter that required his immediate attention. At the time of his departure, the timeline for his return remained uncertain. However, Marsh has since reassured his fellow cricketers of his commitment to rejoining the squad and continuing his participation in the World Cup.

Prior to his abrupt exit, Marsh had been a standout performer in the tournament, amassing 225 runs and securing two vital wickets. His standout moment came in Bengaluru against Pakistan, where he notched a magnificent 121-run innings. His remarkable contributions significantly bolstered the Australian team’s success in the competition.

Cricket.com.au has reported that Marsh’s return to the squad is scheduled for the evening of November 5 in Mumbai.

In their current match against England in Lucknow, Australia has the opportunity to accumulate 10 points on the tournament’s points table, solidifying their third-place position. Marsh’s comeback will undoubtedly boost the team’s morale as they strive to secure a spot in the semi-finals after a somewhat shaky start to the campaign. Following their match against Afghanistan in Mumbai on November 7, Australia will wrap up their group stage with a fixture against Bangladesh in Pune on November 11.
