Stoinis to replace injured Marsh for remaining two Tests against India

New Delhi: Ending all speculations Cricket Australia announced that Marcus Stoinis will replace injured Mitchell Marsh for the remaining two Tests against India. 

Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the remainder of the series owing to a shoulder injury.

All-rounder Stoinis has been chosen over the more experienced Moises Henriques mainly because of bowling skills. 

However, Stoinis is more than capable with the bat in hand. He had played a superb 146-run inning in a losing cause coming in to bat at No. 7 against New Zealand in an ODI in Jaunary. 

He is also one of the very few to have hit six sixes off six balls. 

The 27-year old strong all-rounder  will join the Australian squad ahead of the third Test in Ranchi.
