Ponting Suggests Australia To Consider Mitch Owen As Marsh's Replacment For Champions Trophy
Big Bash League: Former skipper Ricky Ponting believes Australia should consider making a shock call and bring in an uncapped all-rounder Mitch Owen to replace injured Mitch Marsh for their upcoming ICC Men's Champions Trophy campaign.
Marsh, a key figure in the Australia limited-overs set-up, was ruled out of the upcoming event last month due to a back injury and national selectors have until February 12 to finalise his replacement and submit their final squad of 15 to the ICC.
Australia haven’t named a replacement yet, but Ponting suggested Owen's name, who dominated the recent Big Bash League, and thinks the 23-year-old can make the step up to international level quickly if given the chance.
