Australian Test batsman Shaun Marsh will undergo scans to determine the extent of a shoulder injury suffered while playing county cricket at the weekend.

Fielding for Glamorgan in a T20 match in Cardiff, Marsh fell awkwardly while attempting to prevent a boundary. He immediately called for medical assistance and left the field.

The injury to his left shoulder will be assessed on Monday morning, UK time.

“Shaun’s a tough guy, so it’s certainly not a bruise the way he walked off holding his shoulder,” Glamorgan coach Robert Croft told the BBC.

“So we’ll have to wait and see, but we hope the scan will be favourable to us.”

Marsh is coming off some of his best form at international level after scoring two Test centuries in Australia’s Ashes series victory.

His availability will be critical for the Test team heading into December’s series against India, given they will already be without banned batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner for the entire summer.
