With Mitchell Marsh ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to injury, Australia now faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement. Several options are being considered, including players who could step in to fill Marsh’s shoes. Here are three potential replacements who could make an impact in the tournament.

1. Mitchell Owen

A name that has been gaining traction following his explosive performances in the Big Bash League is Mitchell Owen. The stylish right-handed batter turned heads with a scintillating century in the BBL final, leading Hobart Hurricanes to their first-ever title. Owen finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer, amassing 452 runs at an impressive average of 45.2, with a staggering strike rate of 203.60. Given his good form, Cricket Australia might include him in the squad.

2. Beau Webster

Beau Webster, a pace-bowling all-rounder, could be another viable replacement for Mitchell Marsh. He was drafted into the Australian team for the Sydney Test during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as a replacement for Marsh, and he made an immediate impact. He top-scored for Australia in their first innings and later contributed with a brisk 39 runs in the second innings, guiding them to victory.

In addition to his Test success, Webster has had a strong Big Bash League 2024-25 campaign with Melbourne Stars as well. He scored 184 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 129 and an average of 30. With the ball, he picked four wickets in four games at an economy rate of 9. His form and versatility with both bat and ball make him an ideal like-for-like replacement for Marsh.

3. Cooper Connolly

Cooper Connolly, a young batting all-rounder, is another strong candidate to replace Mitchell Marsh. Although he has only played a few ODIs, Connolly’s experience in the domestic circuit, with 35 limited-overs games under his belt, could work in his favor. He is currently part of the Australian squad for the red-ball tour in Sri Lanka, and his all-round skills could make him a valuable asset in the Champions Trophy.
