'Marsh not just a captain, but a leader': Stoinis

Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis

Mitchell Marsh is not just a captain but a true leader, Marcus Stoinis said eulogising his teammate but added that the current Australia group is easy to lead with everyone aware of their roles in specific situations.

Marsh has been tasked with leading Australia to their second T20 World Cup title.

"Mitchie is not a captain, but a leader. The way he gets the groups together inspires it," fellow all-rounder Stoinis said on the Unplayable podcast.

"He's been a leader for a long time in this group. He has captained in the past at a younger age as well," Stoinis added.

Marsh has had a love-hate relationship with the fans, who booed him when his performance dropped leading the all-rounder to claim "most of Australia hates me".
But Marsh witnessed a resurgence last year and has now become a fan favourite.
