It’s been a big week for star WA all-rounder Mitch Marsh, who welcomed his first child with wife Greta just days out from the first Test of the Australian summer.
The 33-year-old trained with the Test squad at the WACA on Monday morning, where it was revealed his partner had given birth to a baby girl on Sunday night.
Marsh was exempt from media commitments so he could spend time with his family this week but will play against India when the Border-Gavaskar series gets underway at Optus Stadium on Friday.
In the absence of fellow all-rounder Cam Green, who will miss the summer through injury, Marsh is expected to pick up extra overs during the five-match series against India.
He was spotted bowling for the most of the 40-minute session.
It comes as India captain Rohit Sharma will reportedly miss the first Test after he and his wife welcomed their second child on Friday night.
The top-order batter is set to be available for the second Test in Adelaide which starts on December 6.
