Veteran Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has reportedly made a major decision on his red-ball career amid the five-match Test series against England. Marsh informed his Western Australia teammates that he plans to step away from first-class cricket, a move that raises questions about his Test future.
Marsh made his Test debut for Australia in 2014. He has played 46 Tests and last played for Australia in Melbourne against India in 2024. The all-rounder has scored 2,083 Test runs at 28.53 and taken 51 wickets at 40.41. He made his return to the Test side with a brilliant century at Headingley in the 2023 Ashes.
Mitchell Marsh Set to Retire From First-Class Cricket Amid Ashes 2025-26
According to Nine newspapers, Mitchell Marsh told his Western Australia teammates that he plans to stop playing first-class cricket after this Sheffield Shield season. He made the decision after scoring two small totals in a recent match at the MCG.
Even though he is stepping away from domestic red-ball cricket, Marsh has not fully given up on Test cricket. He knows he may not get another chance, but he is still open to playing if the selectors call him in the future, including during the ongoing Ashes series.
Marsh has hardly played any red-ball cricket in recent years, appearing only nine times for WA since 2019. Earlier reports also mentioned that he was being considered for Australia’s Ashes plans.
