BBL’s best player left out of both ODI and T20 squadsShort-format tour of
South Africa begins 21 FebruaryAustralia have recalled allrounder Mitch Marsh from the international cricket wilderness but snubbed Marcus Stoinis for the short-format tour of South Africa. Marsh and Glenn Maxwell have both won recalls to Australia’s one-day and Twenty20 squads but Stoinis, on the day he was named the BBL’s player of the tournament, has been overlooked for both.
“Marcus Stoinis is a stand-by player for each squad and was unlucky to miss out due to the make-up of the current top order,” selector Trevor Hohns said. “It is terrific to have a back-up player of his calibre in such good form.”
