Australia바카라™s chairman of selectors George Bailey says Mitchell Marsh바카라™s incredible match-winning knock in the final of the T20 World Cup 바카라˜will carry little weight바카라™ when the Ashes squad is picked as both are completely different formats.

Marsh clobbered a 50-ball unbeaten 77 and powered Australia to their maiden T20 World Cup triumph with an eight-wicket victory over New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday night.

Overall, Marsh made 185 runs at an average of 62 in the UAE, prompting former Australian stars such as Ian Healy to back his selection in the team for the upcoming challenge against their traditional rivals England. But Bailey refused to commit when asked about the 31-year-old 'Player of the Match'.

바카라œNot much, to be honest. They바카라™re (T20s and Tests) about as far removed, we joke internally that they바카라™re different sports in many respects,바카라 Bailey told SEN바카라™s Dwayne바카라™s World on Monday.

바카라œThere바카라™s not much flow on, (but) you love to see players perform well internationally because you know it gives them great confidence going forward, and there's no better time to pick someone than when they are up and about and confident.

바카라œI 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,바카라 Bailey added.

Marsh has played 32 Tests but has not been able to cement his place in the side, averaging 25 in the format. With the ball, he averages 39. 바카라œWe바카라™re 12 hours since he played the innings of his life in T20 (World Cup), there will be lots of time to talk Ashes going forward.

바카라œI think it's really important that we celebrate the tournament and the role he바카라™s played in that team, and celebrate the fact that he바카라™s an Australian hero for a day and he's very much a catalyst behind us holding the trophy above our heads. 바카라œAs I said, I think the formats are so completely different,바카라 the chief selector said.

Bailey, though, has not slammed the Test doors shut on Marsh, saying that he has a good three-four years of cricket ahead of him. 바카라œWe know Mitch is a very, very good player and he바카라™s played Test cricket in the past, so we know he바카라™s capable of it.

바카라œWhat I can say about Mitch is that we have full confidence that the next two, three and hopefully four years are going to be the best cricketing years of his career, so hopefully we get to see him playing all three formats for Australia.바카라

Bailey took over as the chairman of selectors from Trevor Hohns in August.
