“He’s an all-rounder, he’s constant, bat good beneath stress and it is likely to be time. That could possibly be the best way that we fill in a batting place, Mitch Marsh strikes up if he’s injury-free after which an all-rounder is available in. If Marsh strikes up, he doesn’t keep an all-rounder as a result of he’s damage susceptible, that is likely to be the choice ultimately,” Healy added.
