Mitchell Marsh ruled out series due to hip flexor injury

LAHORE: Allrounder Mitchell Marsh will leave the Australian squad in Pakistan to continue his recovery from a low-grade hip flexor injury.

He will be released from the squad following assessment that he would not be available for selection in the remaining three matches of the tour.

Marsh will travel to India to link with the Delhi Capitals squad where former Australian and current New South Wales physiotherapist Pat Farhart will manage his recovery following an isolation period.

Australian team medical staff deemed it the most effective way for Marsh to recover as quickly as possible without having to interrupt his rehabilitation.

“Being able to focus on my recovery without the travel and isolation break is the best approach. I am disappointed to miss the Pakistan series but look forward to re-joining the Australian squad for our next tour,” Marsh said.
