Ashes 2019: "Bringing Mitchell Marsh in will ease a little bit of the workload on the bowling unit" - Tim Paine

Australia cricket captain Tim Paine said the recall of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh in the side to face England at the Oval is a bid to look after his fast bowlers.

Paine revealed on the eve of the fifth Ashes Test that Marsh will take Travis Head’s place.

Marsh, whose last Test was the Boxing Day Test against India last year, comes into the side to give the Australian bowling contingent some support, as they look to close out a successful Ashes campaign.
