Mitch Marsh looms as the big winner of Australia’s tour of the West Indies, with Justin Langer declaring he can fill Steve Smith’s boots at No.3 if the batting maestro misses the Twenty20 World Cup.
Marsh batted at first drop and passed 50 three times in Australia’s 4-1 T20 series loss, before also featuring in the top order in the 2-1 ODI series win.
Smith is far from certain to play in the T20 tournament in Dubai and Oman in October and November, with this summer’s Ashes his top priority as he recovers from an elbow issue.
