CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Teenage allrounder Mitchell Marsh has replaced Brett Lee in Australia's one-day international squad for the three-match series in South Africa.
Marsh, who is currently part of Australia's Twenty20 group, will stay in South Africa for the ODIs with Lee ruled out after undergoing an appendix operation.
Cricket Australia's chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch says the 19-year-old Marsh only just missed out on the initial one-day squad and has the ability to make "a significant impact at international level."
Hilditch says Australia are well covered with four fast bowlers for the one-dayers.
Marsh will join up with older brother Shaun in the ODI squad. They are the sons of former Australia batsman Geoff Marsh.
