Scandals

After Australia’s 2023 Cricket World Cup win, a photo of Marsh lying with his feet on the trophy caused criticism online, especially from India. Some reports said a police complaint was filed, but local police denied this.

Older reports mention incidents like a heated moment with a coach in 2001 and a ban from England matches in 2003 after a drug test, but these seem confused with other cases and lack clear evidence.
