In sports news, Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign kicks off with skipper Mitchell Marsh declared fit for their opening match. However, coach Andrew McDonald confirmed Marsh will not be bowling due to a recent hamstring injury.

Marsh had to return early from the Indian Premier League in April because of his injury but made a comeback this week in two practice matches in Trinidad. Despite not fielding for full innings in either game, Marsh's recovery is progressing.

"For Mitch, the warm-up games were about ticking off where his body was at," McDonald told cricket.com.au. "He fielded more overs, he was able to move more freely, so he's building a little bit of confidence there. It looks as though he's all set for the first game."

McDonald added that while Marsh is set to play against Oman on June 6 in Barbados, his return to bowling is still uncertain. "The second part is just when the bowling comes back online ... it won't be the first game."

Marsh, who replaced the retired Aaron Finch as T20 skipper last month, heads into the World Cup with limited match practice, scoring 18 off 14 balls against Namibia and four from four against the West Indies in the warm-ups.

His recovery is the primary concern for an otherwise fit Australian squad aiming to add the T20 crown to their one-day and Test world titles. Key players Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green missed the warm-up matches due to their involvement in the IPL finals but will join the team in Barbados.

McDonald remains confident about the team’s preparedness. "We feel as though we have plenty of time to bring that group together," he said. "It's a familiar group, they've played a lot together. If they hadn't played a lot together then the prep might have looked different. It will just be finalizing the XIs for the games, and the balances that we want. We've got plenty of options."
