In the absence of

Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh took over the ODI series against India and defeated India 2-1 in the series. After this, Australia lost the 5-match T20 series 1-2 under the captaincy of Marsh. Although Marsh's own performance was good, there was talk about his captaincy as the T20 World Cup is to be held in February.

In such a situation, in the 5th T20, former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist directly asked Mitchell Marsh the question that if Pat Cummins becomes fit, will you be the captain in the World Cup or not? To this, Marsh also gave a clear answer.

T20 World Cup 2026?

Mitchell Marsh was also surprised by Adam Gilchrist's question related to the T20 World Cup. "If Pat Cummins gets fit, will he captain in the T20 World Cup or will you be the captain?"

On this, Mitchell Marsh said, "That's a good question, I think I will be the captain in the T20 World Cup. Gilchrist then asked, "So you are the official T20 captain? If Pat Cummins comes into the T20 team, will he play under your captaincy? "Yes, I think so," Marsh said<>

On this, Gilchrist said, "Thanks for the clarification, some questions were being asked about this." Australia does not have any T20 International schedule before the T20 World Cup 2026, so the performance of the players in the Big Bash League can play an important role in team selection. Marsh doesn't think so, though.

Marsh said, "Our team, with full potential, is a well-organized team. The Big Bash League is for the players and hopefully the Perth Scorchers team will win."
