I’m still lost for words: Mitchell Marsh

Reflecting on his performance in the third test of the 2023 Ashes series, Mitchell Marsh expressed that he is lost for words. He added that he had worked hard to control his nerves in the game.

“It was pretty amazing, I’m still lost for words. In the past, my nerves have really got the better of me and I’ve worked really hard to control them. I think it’s the first time I’ve been dropped in Test cricket and you always need some luck, it was my day.”
