IPL 2024: DC's Mitchell Marsh returns home amid hamstring tear

There have been a series of setbacks for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. In one such instance, their star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has returned to Australia, succumbing to an injury. Marsh has contracted a partial tear in his right hamstring and is set to undergo treatment for the same. 

It is worth noting that, the all-rounder was set to be named as Australia’s T20I captain ahead of the impending T20 World Cup. As per reports by ESPNcricinfo, Cricket Australia is said to have consulted the BCCI over the issue and has called back Marsh for the better cause of the national team.

“A few of our players are injured, and the worrying sign is Mitch Marsh. He has gone for a scan and the physios will give us a report in a week’s time. Then we will come to know what the exact situation is. Whether he can play the entire season or not depends on the reports,” Capitals’ assistant coach Pravin Amre had said ahead of LSG game.
