World Cup 2019: Team-wise one player who might not feature in the starting XI
While some of the players are only travelling as the backups, a few of them just might not make it due to too much talent in the team.
2. Shaun Marsh (Australia)
When Australia needed him, he was there plundering runs in losing cause over the course of 2018. Shaun Marsh has revived his ODI career with some classy batting. But he will be the unluckiest to miss out on the playing XI when it comes to playing in the proper tournament. With Steve Smith and David Warner returning to the team, the top four is getting crowded for Australia which is actually a good problem to have.
A player like Shaun Marsh will have to be benched to accommodate Smith and at the moment, it seems like the former has no place in the star studded line-up. Batting at five or six would be too low for his standards as Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell will bat at those positions and look to finish the innings on a strong note. Marsh is a kind of an accumulator and can only bat in the top three or four which looks filled at this stage.
