Mitchel Marsh will not bowl till WC

Mitchell Marsh, and return to the Australian side after hamstring problems, and will bowl only in the latter stages of the trilogy series serve as a prelude to the World Cup next month. Marsh will play the first part of the tri-series as a pure hitter, and could potentially bat it up until he was fit enough to bowl his fast swinging medium.

Australia will play matches against England in Sydney and Melbourne in India before that in Hobart Marsh is seriously considered for selection, with the third match against men Owen Morgan marked as the date of return. He may not be a pot until the final tournament in Perth, Australia provided qualify.

"The plan is for me to be available for selection for the game Hobart, but obviously I've got a few things to get past for the first time," he said. "At this stage, will be playing in the first few games as a batter while I build my workload and go from there, and hopefully if all goes to plan, I can start playing as an allrounder in the back half of this series.

"Over the past 12 months, I've got my body to the point where I feel comfortable and strong, go out to play. I've gained a lot of confidence in my body, which gave me the ability to go out there and play with freedom and this is what the Australian team is all about.

"This is a minor setback for me, and if we did not have the World Cup probably will not be far away from this for a long time. We all had our eyes on the big picture and great feeling. The most famous of the past six hammy has given me a lot of confidence, and hope that I can keep building.
