Australian all-rounder Mitch Marsh has been ruled out of the Perth Scorchers’ Twenty20 Champions League campaign due to a hamstring injury.

Marsh is set to miss up to 10 weeks after tearing his hamstring during a recent running session.

The 21-year-old has a history of hamstring problems, and was forced to undergo surgery after tearing his other hamstring last summer.

His latest setback won’t require surgery, but coach Justin Langer admits it’s a huge blow to the team’s Champions League hopes in India.
