Marsh suffered cardiac arrest and was in an induced coma at Royal Adelaide Hospital until his death.
Canberra: Former Australia wicketkeeper and England selector Rod Marsh has passed away on Friday (March 4). He was 74.
Last week, Marsh suffered cardiac arrest and was in an induced coma at Royal Adelaide Hospital until his death.
Marsh was a left-handed batter who was the first Australian wicketkeeper to score a Test century, making three Test tons in his decorated career that was interrupted for two years by World Series Cricket.
He made 96 Test appearances for Australia and ended his career with a then-record 355 dismissals. He made a further 92 appearances in white-ball cricket for his country in an international career that lasted from 1970 to 1984.
In 1985, he was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
Rod also served as commentator and became Australia's chairman of selectors in 2014—a position he held for two years.
