Mitchell Marsh joins LSG training, likely to play as an impact player

Mitchell Marsh, one of the most well-known names in Australian cricket, and injury concerns always go hand in hand, especially in the Indian Premier League ever since his involvement in the cash-rich event in 2010.

LUCKNOW:

This time too isn't different as the 33-year-old all-rounder from Perth is expected to be an impact player at the top of the order and then won't have to field. This will be his ninth IPL at his sixth franchise. He has never played more than nine games in a season and has only played more than five in three of his previous eight seasons. His 2024 IPL ended after four games due to a hamstring injury.

On Tuesday, Marsh after returning from injury joined his new franchise Lucknow Super Giants here under former coach Justin Langer. The injury has settled enough to allow him to play with LSG as a batter-only but he is far from being fully fit having only returned to batting in recent weeks, a report suggests.
