CRICKET NEWS - Australia are considering calling up an extra allrounder as cover for Mitchell Marsh who suffered a groin strain in the second test in South Africa, coach Darren Lehmann said on Tuesday.
Marsh has more than a week to prove his fitness before the third test begins in Cape Town on March 22. However, Lehmann said a decision on whether another player might be added to the 15-man squad would be made closer to the time.
"We are reasonably confident but we'll see over the next couple of days," Lehmann said of the 26-year-old's chances of recovery.
"Medical staff will have a look at him and assess him, and then make a call from there. We're hopeful for the next test."
