Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has suffered an injury setback ahead of the limited-overs series against Pakistan. Mitchell Marsh has suffered a hip flexor injury while training. Aaron Finch has confirmed that the all-rounder looks set to miss the limited-overs series against Pakistan.
“Mitch Marsh is off for a scan, he injured his hip flexor yesterday at training. I don’t think he will be available for this series based on how he was feeling yesterday,” Aaron Finch said.
Australia will face Pakistan in the first ODI game at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 29 March 2022. After winning the test series, some of the test regulars like David Warner, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Josh Hazlewood have gone home.
Will Mitchell Marsh play IPL 2022?
Mitchell Marsh was bought by Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2022 auctions for a whopping price of INR 6.50 crores. The availability of Mitchell Marsh will depend on the scan results as confirmed by Aaron Finch. However, according to several reports, Mitchell Marsh will most probably miss the IPL 2022. Delhi Capitals just have seven overseas players and their availability is a concern for them.
If the strain is a major one, a hip flexor injury may require a recovery time of around 6 weeks. The absence of Mitchell Marsh can be a huge loss for the Delhi Capitals.

What is hip flexor injury in cricket?
Hip flexors are the group of muscles that help you lift your knee to your body. When the hip flexor muscles are overused, they can tear apart. There are three grades of hip flexor injury.
Grade 1: When only a few fibers are damaged.
Grade 2: A loss of function of hip flexor due to a moderate strain.
Grade 3: When the muscle is completely torn.
