Ahead of a high-voltage clash against England, Australia will be without their two best players. After all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, opener Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the marquee clash. Marsh has flown back to Australia for some personal reasons and will not be available for selection against England.

On Thursday, Marsh returned home in Perth, and the dates for his comeback are in jeopardy. The unavailability of key players like Marsh has prompted speculation about potential replacements, although it remains uncertain whether a decision will be made. This setback comes after a concussion ruled out all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. He fell off a golf cart while playing with his teammates in Ahmedabad.

The five-time ODI World Cup champions, Australia, are gearing up to face defending champions England in Ahmedabad on Saturday. With crucial matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh approaching, Australia’s current focus is securing a spot in the semi-finals. A win here will increase their chances for the playoffs, while a loss will help England increase their chances of qualifying for the Champions Trophy in 2025.

Marcus Stoinis is set to make a comeback for Australia

In brighter news, the return of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis from injury is a positive development for the team. The Aussie allrounder has suffered a calf injury and is now set to make a comeback. He might replace injured Glenn Maxwell in the playing XI. Meanwhile, another all-rounder, Cameron Green, is expected to be included in the playing XI. He will be replacing Mitchell Marsh in the game against England.

It’s worth noting that winning against Australia is necessary for England to stay alive in the race for the Champions Trophy in 2025. The top seven teams along with host Pakistan, will participate in the upcoming mega event. The event is scheduled to take place in Pakistan. However, it’s unlikely that big teams like India and Australia will travel to Pakistan amid rising security concerns.

Here is how fans react to Mitchell Marsh’s unavailability:
