Overview
- Marsh stated on the Gabba outfield that he will lead the T20 side after Adam Gilchrist directly asked who would captain at the World Cup.
- The final T20I in Brisbane was abandoned after 4.5 overs with India 52 without loss, sealing a 2-1 series win for the visitors.
- Marsh said Australia’s T20 squad is largely settled at full strength, with the Big Bash League serving more as a playing opportunity than a selection trial.
- Cummins is ramping up rehabilitation for a back injury, will miss the first Ashes Test in Perth on November 21, and is targeting a return for the second Test at the Gabba.
- Marsh previously captained Australia at the 2024 T20 World Cup, and his confirmation clarifies the short‑format role heading into the next tournament.
