Mitchell Marsh lifted a World Cup trophy as under-19s captain in 2010. After almost disappearing as an international player, he has the chance to do it again.
Marsh led Australia to a World Cup title as under-19 captain 14 years ago.Standing on a beach in Trinidad after another training session under the Caribbean sun, Mitchell Marsh could not help but laugh at a cricket journey that has taken him back to the future., which begins next week in the West Indies and the USA, Marsh, 32, hopes to replicate his first big moment in the sport: lifting the Under-19 World Cup as captain more than 14 years ago.
The international journeys of the three players have been very different. Hazelwood developed from a Test-only fast bowler to one of Australia’s finest all-format players, while Zampa is one of the game’s best white-ball spinners after accepting he would not play Test cricket. Mitchell Marsh celebrates a wicket while leading Australia in a Twenty20 match against New Zealand in February.He was the leading run-scorer in both T20 series and went on to shine at the T20 World Cup in the UAE which followed, scoring an unbeaten 77 from 50 balls in the final against New Zealand to give Australia their first T20 world title.
“It’s exciting,” he said. “It’s huge honour to be captaining Australia. More importantly for me is captaining this bunch of cricketers and people. Not just the players, but to be a leader among our coaching staff and to be seen as one is something I’m really proud of. I just want these guys to have fun.”
