But Bailey refused to commit when requested in regards to the 31-year-old ‘Player of the Match’.
“Not much, to be honest. They’re (T20s and Tests) about as far removed, we joke internally that they’re different sports in many respects,” Bailey informed SEN’s Dwayne’s World on Monday.
“There’s not a lot move on, (however) you like to see gamers carry out nicely internationally as a result of you understand it provides them nice confidence going ahead, and there’s no higher time to select somebody than when they’re up and about and assured.
“I don’t think necessarily that individual form in one format flows into another, and I don’t necessarily think that winning the T20 World Cup gives us any great advantage heading into the Ashes,” Bailey added.
Marsh has performed 32 Tests however has not been in a position to cement his place within the facet, averaging 25 within the format. With the ball, he averages 39.

“We’re 12 hours since he performed the innings of his life in T20 (World Cup), there will probably be a number of time to speak Ashes going ahead.
“I believe it’s actually vital that we rejoice the match and the function he’s performed in that group, and rejoice the truth that he’s an Australian hero for a day and he’s very a lot a catalyst behind us holding the trophy above our heads.
“As I said, I think the formats are so completely different,” the chief selector stated.
Bailey, although, has not slammed the Test doorways shut on Marsh, saying that he has three-four years of cricket forward of him.
“We know Mitch is a really, superb participant and he’s performed Test cricket up to now, so we all know he’s able to it.
“What I can say about Mitch is that we’ve full confidence that the following two, three and hopefully 4 years are going to be the most effective cricketing years of his profession, so hopefully we get to see him enjoying all three codecs for Australia.
