Marsh has been a key player for Australia, especially in the white-ball formats. He was included in the team's preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy despite being dropped from the Test team.

“I'm not sure which way they'll go to be honest. I don't know if you guys have been watching the BBL (Big Bash League), but we've had one young kid that's just emerged out of nowhere, a kid called Mitch Owen, who has opened the batting for the Hobart Hurricanes,” said Ponting.
“He's also an all-rounder, probably more suited (as a replacement for Marsh). I mean, Mitch Marsh has batted in the top three in one-day cricket, mostly in the last couple of years anyway," Ponting noted.
"Honestly I'd be surprised" - Ricky Ponting
While Ricky Ponting has endorsed Mitchell Owen for a spot in Australia's Champions Trophy squad, he would be surprised if he finds the youngster in the squad. Another allrounder Cameron Green is on track to be fit but Ponting believes he is still away from being fully fit.
Cameron Green underwent surgery last year due to which he missed many important series for Australia. However, he has started to train again but won't be available for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
Mitchell Owen's exceptional BBL season
Owen also emerged as the highest run-getter of the season with 452 runs in 11 matches at an average of 45.20 and a blistering strike rate of 203.60. The right-hander struck 2 hundreds during this season.
