Cricket: Marcus Stoinis is set to be unleashed on the World Cup with the all-rounder cleared to return from his hamstring injury.
Australia has been boosted by the return of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis ahead of Thursday’s World Cup match with South Africa in Lucknow.However, speaking to reporters in Lucknow on Tuesday, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell confirmed that Stoinis was available for selection ahead of Thursday’s crucial match against the Proteas.
Stoinis’ patchy ODI form has been cause for concern, with the West Australian averaging 16.80 since the start of the 2019 World Cup in England. However, the right-hander is a proven finisher with the bat, also providing valuable contributions with the ball in canary yellow this year. Australia will face South Africa at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium on Thursday evening with the first ball scheduled for 7.30pm AEDT.
