Australia batsman Shaun Marsh entered a new phase in his life today after he welcomed his first child to his family. The proud father, who sat out Australia’s current Qantas tour of the West Indies for the birth, announced the arrival of Austin Ross Marsh with his wife Rebecca on Instagram on Saturday morning.

Marsh, who married Rebecca in the month of April last year, said both mother and son were doing well.

“Proud to announce the safe arrival of little Austin Ross Marsh born at 10.37pm last night, Bec was a superstar and our little man is just perfect, we love him so much already :)” Marsh wrote.

Marsh was last seen in action during the recently concluded Indian Premier League in early May playing for his side Kings XI Punjab. Unfortunately, he could not stay with the franchise for the full tournament after he was ruled out with a back injury he picked up during the six-wicket loss to Kolkata Knight Riders on April 19.

Marsh, however, will be fit for this next international assignment – Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka in July and August. He was named in Australia’s 15-man Test squad for the tour last month and the back injury that brought him home early from India wouldn’t prevent him from boarding the plane to Sri Lanka.

“My back’s getting better, I wouldn’t say it’s one hundred per cent but I’ve got a bit of time up my sleeve now to get it right,” Marsh told reporters in Perth following the release of the squad.

“I don’t leave until the 9th of July so I’ll be ready to go by then.  It’s just one of those things. I’ve been really good over the last couple of years with my injuries and the body’s fine. I’ve had a bit of a hiccup over the last couple of weeks and I’ll be ready to go come July.”
