 "Setback for DC as Mitchell Marsh flies back home to undergo treatment on right hamstring")
Delhi Capitals suffered a major blow just when their IPL 2024 campaign was starting to show signs of recovery, with Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh flying back home to undergo treatment for a tear in his right hamstring.
Marsh, who will be leading Australia in the T20 World Cup that begins days after the conclusion of the ongoing IPL season, was called back home after consulations with the Delhi Capitals team management, according to ESPNCricinfo.
The Capitals, who had beaten Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) convincingly by six wickets in the last outing, are yet to take a call on Marsh’s participation in the remainder of the tournament.

Marsh last played against Kolkata Knight Riders on 3 April and missed their previous two outings against Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants.
Marsh’s top-score this season has only been 23 versus Rajasthan Royals, which Rajasthan won by 12 runs. He got out for a duck in their 106-run defeat against KKR.
Marsh has been on a roll across formats for the Kangaroos, leading to him winning the Allan Border Medal for the most outstanding male Australian cricketer of the year.

More ShortsSince January 2023, the 32-year-old has scored 1,954 international runs in 38 outings at an average of 50.10, including three centuries, besides also taking 10 wickets.
Other than Marsh, DC are also concerned with veteran Aussie opener David Warner’s availability for their Wednesday’s away fixture against Gujarat Titans.
Warner hurt his finger while attempting a catch against LSG on Friday.
He reportedly had swelling in his finger and underwent scans upon the team’s arrival in Ahmedabad.
