Australia’s Shaun Marsh has called time on his professional career as he says a goodbye to his 23-year-long career. Marsh, who recently helped Melbourne Renegades beat city competitors Melbourne Stars in Aaron Finch’s last game, said that the upcoming clash against Sydney Thunder would be his final dance.
Marsh, who was 17 years and 236 days old when he debuted for Western Australia in 2001, had become the youngest player in nearly 50 years to play for WA at the Sheffield Shield level. Marsh is a Shield, One-Day Cup and BBL title winner. He joined the Renegades in 2019 after a successful spell at the Perth Scorchers. Notably, Marsh has revealed that he told his Renegades teammates about his decision to retire. After the six-wicket win over the Stars, Marsh told his teammates that he is hanging his boots.
“I have loved playing for the Renegades, I’ve met some great people over the last five years and the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime. This playing group is special. They’ve been amazing to me, amazing teammates and even better friends,” Marsh said.
“Our members and fans are some of the most passionate out there and I’m so thankful for their support over the journey. Stick with us, there’s a huge amount of talent in this group and I have no doubt they’ll lead this group back to the top,” he added.
