Australian batsman Shaun Marsh has reportedly been confined to his sick bed with gastroenteritis since touching down in his home state yesterday, and maybe in doubt for the third Test against India to be played later this week.

The 28-year-old left-hander is struggling with his form, having scored 0, 3 and 0, and if he plays, he would be eager to impress in front of family and friends at the WACA Ground when the Test begins on Friday.
