Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh wants to skip the Indian Premier League (IPL) in an attempt to prolong his Test career. The 26-year-old last played for Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL. He was sold to the franchise for Rs.4.8 crore during the IPL auction in 2016. "It was a fairly big decision from a money point of view but my ultimate goal is to play Test match cricket for Australia," Marsh told the media here on Monday.
