Inglis to Lead Australia in ODI Series Against Pakistan After Marsh Ankle Jury
Josh Inglis takes over a reshaped Australia side as Mitchell Marsh misses the series with an ankle injury and Ollie Peake could debut.
- On Tuesday, Cricket Australia confirmed that captain Mitchell Marsh will miss the Pakistan ODIs starting May 30 due to an ankle injury, with wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis named captain for the first time in an ODI series.
- After withdrawing from Lucknow Super Giants' late-season IPL matches on May 19 and Saturday, Marsh flew home to Perth for medical assessment rather than joining Australia's tour squad in Pakistan.
- Finishing as the seventh highest IPL scorer with a strike rate of 163.18 and scoring 111, 90 and 96 in his last four innings with LSG, Marsh's injury disrupts the opening partnership he shares with Travis Head heading toward next year's World Cup.
- Inglis becomes Australia's fourth-choice ODI captain after permanent captain Pat Cummins and vice-captain Head miss the series, with emerging fast bowler Ollie Peake set to make his international debut as part of the squad reshuffle.
- Marsh's availability for the Bangladesh tour starting June 9 remains uncertain pending medical evaluation, while coach Andrew McDonald plans to trial Cameron Green as a potential Glenn Maxwell replacement during the Pakistan and Bangladesh series.
