Australia's Marsh ruled out of T20 World Cup opener with groin injury

Standby player Steve Smith will travel to Sri Lanka to prepare as a potential replacement for Marsh, according to the Cricket Australia statement.
Australia is facing additional fitness issues as Tim David is not fully fit, and several other players were already ruled out of the tournament.
Ireland, led by Paul Stirling, hopes to secure its first win in the tournament after narrowly losing to Sri Lanka in their previous match.
