Earlier in a statement posted on X, Cricket Australia said, "Australia have been hit by the loss of another key allrounder after announcing Mitch Marsh flew home on Wednesday for personal reasons and will be out of the World Cup indefinitely." However, the Australian Cricket body had not revealed the details of the personal reasons.
"After (all-rounder) Glenn Maxwell was ruled out of Saturday's clash with England due to concussion, the Aussies are now scrambling having lost (Mitchell) Marsh as well to unforeseen circumstances," it had said.
Marsh missed Australia's clash against defending champions England in Ahmedabad. The five times World Championships, who are comfortably placed third in the standings, are eyeing a semi-final spot.
Australia will take on Afghanistan and Bangladesh in Mumbai and Pune respectively.
