Gavaskar Trophy Test: Former Australia fast-bowler Mitchell Johnson said all-rounder Mitchell Marsh needs to decide whether he wants to still play red-ball cricket and more importantly, if he can shoulder bowling duties.

Marsh was dropped from Australia’s team for the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India after making 73 runs in four games and then missed the side’s Champions Trophy campaign due to a back injury.

Marsh, though, has managed to return for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025, making scores of 72, 52 and zero. The impact player has meant that Marsh hasn’t been needed to field in IPL 2025. Nevertheless, Marsh was retained in Australia’s list of contracted players for the 2025/26 season.
