Australian all-rounder Marsh Mitch has not thought about Test recall amid injuries to Cam Green, Beau Webster

Mitch Marsh has effectively ruled himself out of a Test recall amid injury concerns over fellow West Australian Cam Green ahead of the opening Ashes Test in Perth next month.

It came after Australian chairman of selectors George Bailey left the door open for Marsh as a potential replacement if Green and Beau Webster were not passed fit.

Marsh’s immediate focus is on captaining Australia in Sunday’s blockbuster one-day international against India at Optus Stadium, which will serve as the start of Virat Kohli’s swansong own under.

The 33-year-old has not played Test cricket since he was dropped for Webster ahead of the fifth Test against India at the SCG in January.

Green is battling side soreness after returning to bowling for WA in the Sheffield Shield, which has raised concerns over his availability for the tour opener against England.

But with Webster also recovering from an ankle injury, Marsh downplayed any involvement he may have in the series.

“I’ve got tickets for day one and two. I haven’t asked the wife yet, so that’s about as much thought as I’ve given it,” he said.

Marsh said he had reached out to Green and understood his fellow Sandgroper’s injury issue was not serious.

“He’s okay, it’s obviously on the very minor end and a cautious take on it, but he’s all good,” he said.

Bailey told reporters in Perth on Saturday Marsh, who has not retired from the long-form version of the game, could factor into their plans as an emergency option.

“I think his focus is ‘let’s get this squad ready for the T20 World Cup, there’s these two white-ball series,’” he said.

“He’s been in, personally, wonderful one day, T20 form, so that’s great. I think at some stage, there will be conversations around where he’s at with his red-ball cricket.

“I said a long time ago, I didn’t think that his door was closed for him to play red-ball cricket. I think (coach) Andrew’s (McDonald) backed that up.

“I think the final piece of that puzzle is where Mitch feels about it. That’s probably the most important piece of the puzzle.”

Sunday’s white ball clash with India will kick off the three-legged series and the clash is tracking towards a sell-out or close to it — despite a 90 per cent chance of rain, per the Bureau of Meteorology.

The tour represents Indian greats Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s final Australian tours, and Marsh said it would be a special series for a myriad of reasons.

“Any time you’re captaining your country is always a huge honour. Playing at home is always extra special and by all reports, it’s going to be a big crowd,” Marsh said.

“To see the stadium packed out against India, it’s going to be a great experience for our group.

“I’ve had the privilege of playing against them quite a lot over the journey and they’re obviously legends of the game.

“Virat, especially in this white ball format, the greatest chaser ever and you can see by the ticket sales that a lot of people are going to be coming to watch them.

“If it is their last time on Australian soil, then I hope they enjoy it, and hope people get to witness not too much good cricket from them, but witness two of the greats play in Australia.”

Marsh said getting off to a fast start on Sunday would be crucial.

“Often you see Perth (Optus) Stadium can swing around with a new ball and both teams will be looking to do early damage on that wicket. Look across the board in the Big Bash, a lot of your biggest scores are back-ended,” he said.

“I believe it’s going to be a high scoring affair, but getting through the first 10 overs for both teams will be a challenge and maybe where the game’s won and lost.”
