10 Current cricketers who should retire from Test cricket
While T20 cricket in today’s time has seen an evolution in terms of the profusion of T20 freelancers or specialists, similarly even Test cricket now demands those players who earnestly have the pedigree to ascend.
6. Shaun Marsh
There were a lot of speculations being made about Shaun Marsh yet again making a comeback in Test cricket in the last Australian summer. Especially, with Australia enduring some injury woes, the left-handed batsman was considered as an attractive replacement predominately because of his solid record in the longest format. However, with Marsh neither being called and also nor being in the Test contention for anymore, the veteran is now seen as someone who very well should now announce his Test retirement.
Especially with the cricketer making his Test debut way back in 2011, Shaun Marsh has played a total of 38 Test matches for Australia and has scored 2265 runs at a reasonable average of 34.31. Further, the left-hander also has 6 Test centuries and a solid average of above 40 at home. Even with the Australian selectors now largely trying to build the Test team with a lot of youngsters, barely-there now seems to be a motive for Shaun Marsh to continue playing in the whites.
Hence with the southpaw also now just turning 38, the time seems to be very right for Shaun Marsh to say goodbye to red-ball cricket and possibly try some exploration in the T20s.
