Marcus Stoinis is questionable for the 2023 ICC World Cup match against India.In the opening of the three-match ODI series against India in Mohali last month, Stoinis sustained a hamstring injury. He was not involved in the remainder of the series or Australia’s ICC World Cup 2023 warm-up games.
Prior to their first game, Australian coach Andrew McDonald spoke with the media in Chennai and provided an update on Marcus Stoinis’ injuries.
He currently has a minor hamstring strain, which is why he missed the practice matches. According to Australia coach Andrew McDonald, he will be questionable for the opening match against India. “He’ll go through his work there and we’ll see whether he’s available for selection for game one,” the coach said. “At the moment, he wasn’t fit and available for those practice games.” “We’ve got the main session today and then another hit out tomorrow.”
McDonald also discussed the composition of Australia’s roster and the potential for pairing Cameron Green and Stoinis.
He responded, “There’s a way to fit them both on one side. Over the past 18 months, we’ve had a fairly clear concept for how we want to create three different playing styles. There’s a likelihood that each of those players will be in the same starting XI because you’ve probably seen that side play in the previous 18 months. Another option is to use every all-rounder and perhaps two quicks.
He also stressed the importance of Glenn Maxwell‘s presence in the squad and his current form, which included four wickets against India in the final ODI, his first match following injury. He then smashed a half-century against Pakistan in the warm-up game.
“Glenn Maxwell was able to handle the demands of the game he played, including a significant innings and the ability to back up and bowl as many overs as he did. He has recovered pretty well,” McDonald remarked.
Therefore, a few of the moving components we had before have worked out well for us, which is good. Two weeks ago, if you had asked me that, I might have been a little concerned, but right now, everything seems to be coming together wonderfully,” he said.
