George Bailey says Mitchell Marsh's T20 World Cup final heroics 'will carry little weight' in Ashes selection

Mitch Marsh played the starring role in the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand but chief selector George Bailey said the all-rounder's heroics on Sunday will carry little weight when he picks the Australian Test squad for next month's Ashes series.

Cricket Australia's chief selector George Bailey made it clear that Mitchell Marsh's heroics in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 final against New Zealand "will carry little weight" when they pick the Test squad for the upcoming Ashes series.

Marsh's match-winning knock helped Australia gun down 173 and beat New Zealand by 8 wickets in Dubai. The all-rounder smashed 77 not out off 50 balls to cancel out Kane Williamson's 85 as Australia clinched their maiden T20 World Cup title on Sunday.
