Overview
- Western Australia confirmed Marsh will step away from domestic red-ball cricket at season's end after he told teammates following the MCG loss to Victoria, where he scored 9 and 4.
- Marsh said he will prioritise captaining Australia in white-ball cricket and playing for the Perth Scorchers, with injuries and workload shaping the decision.
- Coach Andrew McDonald has previously said Australia would be comfortable selecting Marsh for Tests directly from white-ball cricket, though such a move would be unconventional.
- The 34-year-old has played 46 Tests for Australia, scoring 2,083 runs and taking 51 wickets; for WA he logged 55 Shield matches with 2,744 runs and 82 wickets.
- His most recent Test was in Melbourne in 2024 and he was later replaced by Beau Webster, and with the Shield on hiatus and Australia 2-0 up in the Ashes, a near-term call-up is considered unlikely.
