Can't wait to get back to the ground - Shaun Marsh

An Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh who plays for Kings XI Punjab in IPL is ready to join the squad. He passed a fitness test in Australia on Friday. Marsh had been recovering from an injury he picked while playing for Australia A in February.

"I'm feeling fit and healthy so I can't wait to get back to playing cricket again and am really excited about the next five weeks in the IPL," Marsh said in a media release issued by Perth Scorchers, his team in the Big Bash.

Marsh's recovery will be a bounce back situation for Punjab. He is by far the best batsman in Kings XI Punjab's squad. He has a century and hit the most number of boundaries for Punjab with the best average (45.80), and one of the highest strike-rates in the team.

End of an Era: Southee to Retire from Tests After England Tour

Tim Southee, New Zealand’s prolific paceman and all-time leading wicket-taker across formats, has announced the third Test against England could be his final appearance in red-ball cricket. If New Zealand qualifies for the World Test Championship (WTC) final next year, he may make himself available for one last hurrah. Southee, 35, will have a fitting end to his career at Seddon Park, Hamilton, his home ground. Reflecting on his 18-year journey, he expressed gratitude, saying, “To play such a big series against the team I began my Test career against and at grounds so special to me is the perfect way to bow out.” The veteran has struggled recently, managing only three wickets on the spin-friendly pitches in India.
