8 famous brother duos who represented their nation in T20I cricket

#6 Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Marsh (Australia)

Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Marsh hail from the famous Marsh family. Their father Geoff Marsh was arguably the best wicket-keeping batsman of his generation. Geoff Marsh has remained a powerful figure in the Australian cricketing circles even after his retirement. The senior Marsh was the coach of the Australian team when they won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1999. Geoff Marsh is only the third Test player - after Walter Hadlee and Lala Amarnath - to have two sons play Test cricket.

Shaun, the elder of the two brothers, first came into limelight in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League in 2008, when he topped the run charts. However, the journey for Shaun has seen numerous ups and downs as inconsistency has seen him go in and out of the Australian team. The talent of the left-hander was never in question and that's the reason, he got numerous recalls to the national team.

His younger brother Mitchell rode his way into the national team after terrific performances for the under-19 team and for his domestic side. The wiry all-rounder also had difficulties to get a regular spot in the team as constant injuries set him back.

Mitchell was a member of the victorious World Cup winning Australian side. The retirement of the stars of the Australian side and the ball-tampering issues that have seen the captain and vice-captain banned for a year has once again got Shaun in the reckoning and he's hoping to make up for lost time.

Mitchell, who found his feet in the Ashes earlier this year has also finally made his name for the Australians. With the Australian team at possibly its lowest phase in the last thirty years, the Marsh brothers will have to step up to guide the country from this dark, dark phase clouding them.
