ICC World Cup 2019: Top 10  Players who could be playing their last World Cup

#6 Shaun Marsh ( Australia) – Age – 35

Shaun Marsh got his opportunities in the absence of Warner and Smith

Matches – 63, Inns – 62, Runs – 2536, 100s – 7, 50s - 13

Despite scoring more than 10,000 first-class runs in his career, Shaun Marsh has never had the same success in International cricket playing for Australia. He came into reckoning by impressing the Australian selectors with his performances in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League in 2008. Playing for Kings XI Punjab, Marsh scored 616 runs at an average of 68 and strike rate of 140. That performance brought him into the Australian ODI team.

Though he started his ODI career as an opener, he has moved down to the middle-order after the retirement of Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, and Mike Hussey. In his first 10 ODI innings, Shaun Marsh managed to score 5 fifties. His first ODI hundred came against India at Hyderabad in a winning cause.

After playing 29 ODIs in his first 3 years, Marsh could only play in 24 matches only in the next 6 years owing to form and fitness. However, in the absence of David Warner and Steve Smith in 2018, Marsh took responsibility and scored 416 runs in a mere seven matches. In this run, he averages 59 and has a strike rate of 102 including three centuries

For a player who made his debut in 2008, Shaun Marsh is yet to feature in a World Cup match. This year’s World Cup is a wonderful opportunity for him to make an impact if he remains fit.

Marsh would certainly continue to play international cricket after the World Cup in England. But he is unlikely to be around for the next World Cup
