Mitch Marsh to miss series against Pakistan due to hip injury: Report

Published

on

On the eve of the start of the white-ball leg of the tour to Pakistan, Australia were dealt with a huge blow with all-rounder Mitchell Marsh all set to miss the entire series due to a hip flexor injury, says a report by ESPNCricinfo on Monday.

If confirmed, Marsh’s absence will further deplete an Australia side missing Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Steve Smith.

“He’s injured his hip-flexor, we think, at training. We are going to have to wait and see what that looks like but I don’t think he’ll be available for the series based on how he was feeling yesterday. He sustained that in a fielding drill, it was a high intensity, lateral movement drill and he bent down to pick it up one-handed and went to throw and felt a twinge,” captain Aaron Finch was quoted as saying in the report.

If Marsh’s injury is deemed serious, then it raises doubts over his participation for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing IPL 2022. Marsh was already supposed to miss the first three games for the Rishabh Pant-led side because of the white-ball tour to Pakistan.

But the hip-flexor injury has now put a question mark over his presence in the IPL, considering Delhi have just seven overseas players in the ongoing edition of the tournament. Marsh had missed the last two seasons of IPL due to ankle injury in the opening match and bio-bubble fatigue while being a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In the meantime, young all-rounder Cameron Green will be his replacement for the first ODI at Gaddafi Stadium. Green has played just one ODI till date, coming against India in December 2020, where he made 21 with the bat and had figures of 0/27 in four overs of pace bowling. Green was recently a member of the Test side which won a gruelling three-match Test series 1-0.

“Cam (Green) will play and probably bat in that middle-order role. We’ve seen he’s a super talented cricketer. He’s someone who has been quite consistent in his Test career, his impact with the bat and ball can’t be understated. Really excited for Cam to get that opportunity.”

In a move that has captivated football enthusiasts worldwide, Kylian Mbappe has officially transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid as of Tuesday.

This long-anticipated switch concludes months of speculation and excitement among fans.

Real Madrid’s Exciting Acquisition

Real Madrid announced on Monday that they had secured a deal with the French superstar for the next five seasons, merging one of football’s brightest talents with its most illustrious club.

This deal follows years of interest from Madrid, eager to bring in the player seen as the heir to Lionel Messi’s throne in the sport.

The 25-year-old Parisian will reportedly earn 15 million Euros net per season at Real Madrid, translating to over ₹136 crores annually. This figure breaks down to an impressive ₹2.6 crore per week.

Aside from his substantial salary, Mbappe will enjoy a private luxury suite at Real Madrid’s training facility and will sport the iconic No.9 jersey, previously worn by legendary striker Karim Benzema.

Mbappe’s Stellar PSG Legacy

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in 2017 for €180 million and has since become the club’s all-time leading scorer.

Throughout his seven-year tenure in Paris, he consistently demonstrated his scoring prowess, netting at least 30 goals in six of those seasons. His move to Real Madrid marks the next chapter in an already illustrious career, as he aims to further his legacy at one of the world’s most storied football clubs.
