Mitchell Marsh is the younger brother of left-handed top-order batter Shaun Marsh as well as the son of the former Australia batsman Geoff Marsh. Mitchell, unlike his dad and older brother, has practised fast bowling. He's a hard-hitting all-rounder who hits in the middle overs. He began playing professional cricket at the age of seventeen and currently represents Western Australia on the national circuit. Already before he earned his international debut, he was signed by the Deccan Chargers of the Indian Premier League in 2010. He began playing for his nation versus South Africa in a Twenty20 International at Wanderers in 2011.

At an early age, he became something of a T20 agent. He was recruited by the Pune Warriors in 2011 and remained with them till 2013. Back in Australia, he was a loyal member of the Perth Scorchers' Big Bash League squad since the league's debut in 2011.

Marsh was nominated to the Australian side for the Zimbabwe tri-series after some excellent performances, and he immediately drew attention with a carefree 89 in the first match of the competition. Marsh earned his Test debut versus Pakistan during Australia's visit to the UAE in October 2014, filling in for an unwell Shane Watson, and he scored a magnificent 87 in the Test held in Abu Dhabi. He also batted effectively in the ensuing ODI series versus South Africa and completed the first two Test games of the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy until limping off the field on Day 1 of the second Test in Brisbane owing to a hamstring problem. He did not play in the rest of the series, but he was included in the 2015 World Cup roster since he was anticipated to be fully healthy.

Marsh didn't play much in the event, which Australia eventually won. Nevertheless, after a few retirement plans following the showcase event, he received his opportunity and began performing as well. In ODIs, he was able to contribute with the bat while his pace was usually useful. Despite being labelled as an all-rounder, Marsh was a stronger batter than a bowler, and he has begun to become reliable in ODIs. He made history in 2016 when he scored his first hundred in 50-overs cricket during a bilateral home series even during the Australian summer. Marsh has established himself as a vital player in the smaller forms, but he still has a long way to go. Mitchell Marsh batting records are getting better with time.

The key for every all-rounder is to master at least one of his abilities because the greatest in the class are those who could be selected exclusively on one of those abilities. Marsh should start pushing the limits with the whip, which might help him establish pace with the ball. His performance in ODIs and T20s is good right now, but he has the potential to improve even more. With another World Cup in England, teams must have at least one excellent seaming all-rounder, and Australia will turn to Marsh to fill that role, albeit he will face competition from Marcus Stoinis. Marsh, with his age in his favour, has the opportunity to make quick progress and represent Australia as the future match-winning all-rounder that he is expected to be.
