In a heartwarming spectacle, Mitchell Marsh, the Australian all-rounder, was visibly emotional as he secured the prestigious Allan Border Medal for his outstanding performances throughout 2023. His resurgence in Test cricket, a format he seemed to have bid farewell to in January of the previous year, was a pivotal element in Australia's triumphant 2023 campaign.

Marsh, a vital cog in the Test team's success, expressed gratitude through tears, acknowledging the unwavering support of head coach Andrew McDonald and captain Pat Cummins. "To Ronny (McDonald) and Patty (Cummins), you believed in me and I can’t thank you enough. You’ve changed my life," Marsh emotionally stated.

His acknowledgment extended to his wife, Greta, whom he described as an "amazing human" during his heartfelt speech. Marsh credited Greta with providing the perspective on life he needed, emphasizing the constancy of her support, whether he scored a duck or a hundred.

In 2023, Marsh scripted a memorable comeback story, having been absent from Test cricket since 2019. His return saw him make a significant impact, striking a century in his first innings and adding five more fifty-plus scores in the subsequent ten innings. Beyond Tests, he led the Australian T20 team to a remarkable 3-0 series whitewash in South Africa, contributing scores of 92*, 79*, and 15 in those games.
