Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was left bewildered when scans of his injured right ankle went missing in UAE.

Marsh, who sustained an injury to his ankle during Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) IPL 2020 opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), informed about the same, saying Cricket Australia is yet to receive it.

This adversity has caused uncertainty as far as the extent of the injury is concerned, which ruled Marsh out of the cash-rich tournament.

“We don’t really know what happened with the scans over in the UAE. Cricket Australia haven’t been able to get their hands on them so it’s bit of a weird situation,” Marsh told reporters during a virtual press conference on Tuesday (September 29).

The scans were taken out a day after SRH’s match against RCB. Marsh, who returned to Australia and is currently serving a two-week quarantine in a hotel in Perth, also spoke about undergoing another scan once his isolation is over.

“Hopefully I’ll go for another scan at some point this week, if I can get clearance, and then we’ll be a lot clearer on what we’re dealing with. This one is obviously really frustrating and a little bit unlucky. I’ve tried to dive for a ball like that a thousand times in my career,” Marsh said.

“It’s one of those frustrating injuries. I’ve been through a few now so I think I know how to deal with it. I moaned and groaned for about 48 hours in the UAE.”
