The dashing all-rounder missed the five-time champions’ match against England here on Saturday, as he had flown back briefly following the demise of his grandmother.

Marsh has been a top performer for the Kangaroos with the bat, scoring 225 runs in six games at an average of 37.50, including a hundred and a half-century.

Although he initially began the tournament opening the innings with David Warner, he was pushed to the No. 3 spot following the return of Travis Head from a head injury.
