Following a tremendous amount of opprobrium, Mitchell Marsh has come forward with the clarification by stating that he didn’t mean any disrespect in that picture.

“There was obviously no disrespect meant in that photo at all. I haven’t given it too much thought, I haven’t seen a lot on social media even though everyone tells me it’s gone off. There is nothing in that,” Marsh told SEN.

Australia had won the World Cup title on the strength of stunning knock played by batter Travis Head who had scored (137) runs to ensure Australia’s win. Marnus Labuschagne had too played a key role with his 58-run score unbeaten. Both Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne had shared a 192-run partnership to take the team over the line.
