Cameron Green Should Replace Mitchell Marsh In 4th Test, Feels Jason Gillespie

In his column for the Daily Mail, Jason Gillespie wrote that if Cameron Green gets fit in the next Test, he will replace Mitchell Marsh in the playing XI. He also noted Cameron Green is the incumbent for Australia in Ashes 2023.

“Mitchell Marsh scoring that brilliant century in the first innings at Headingley will have given the selectors a lot of food for thought. But Cameron Green is the incumbent. If he is fit and they only go with one of them, I think the likelihood is that Green will slot straight back in”, Jason Gillespie wrote.

Gillespie, who played 71 Tests and 97 ODIs for Australia, also praised Mitchell Marsh for his century at Headingley. He also said that Marsh played some of the best shots of the series during that knock.

“He knows he is Green’s understudy and that his chances of playing Test cricket depend on Green’s availability. So, he has absolutely nothing to lose when he goes out to bat”.

“He can just see ball and hit ball, and I have always said Mitch is at his best when he plays with that sort of clarity. When he hits them, they stay hit. In that hundred, he played some of the best shots of this series,” Jason Gillespie further wrote in his column.
