Junior career
Marsh was a member of Under 17 and Under 19 years of delivering Western Australia at both the 1999 and 2002 ICC Under-19 World Cups. He was the second highest run scorer for Australia in the 1999–2000 tournament, held in Sri Lanka, behind Shane Watson, and other notable teammates included Michael Clarke, Nathan Hauritz, and Mitchell Johnson. He scored his fourth most runs for the tournament in New Zealand, with Australian captain Cameron White leading run scorers.
Marsh made his first-class cricket debut against South Australia in March 2001 at the WACA Ground. He served as a middle order batsman and appeared in the final three games of the season, before representing both the Australian Under 19 team and the Australian Cricket Academy in New Zealand from January to February 2002.
Domestic career
Marsh was selected to play for Western Australia against the touring English XI in a two-day practice match (not designated as first-class) before the 2002-03 Ashes. Marsh top scored in the game as he scored 92 runs against an English bowling squad made up of Matthew Hoggard, Stephen Harmison, Andy Caddick, and Ashley Giles. He was not scheduled for the three-day match that came quickly after, but he was selected to make his List A debut for the Warriors in a ING Cup match against the South Australian Redbacks in November 2002. During the 2002–03 season, he appeared in nine ING Cup games and three Pura Cup, and in 2003, he scored his first-class hundred against a NSW team starring Steve and Mark Waugh.
He cemented his place in the Warriors' middle order over the next two years, averaging of 35 in first class cricket from 2004-05 to 2005-06. In July 2006, he was selected in the Australia-A team for a mid-year tournament in Cairns. In 2007–08, he returned to top form in all aspects of the game after a disappointing 2006–07 season. He recorded his highest career score of 166 not out (as part of a 268 run 4th-wicket team with Luke Pomersbach and averaged over 60 runs per completed innings). Marsh made his debut in the 2007–08 Ford Ranger Cup 50-over-over series, becoming the Warriors' top run scorer. He was the best run scorer in Twenty20 cricket with the highest average and highest individual average.
Marsh converted batting positions to become a starting batsman with the 2003–08 season, with Justin Langer's retirement and the move of Chris Rogers to the Victorian Bushrangers. He was named the Lawrie Sawle Medalist for his contribution to the Western Australian state cricket team in the 2007–08 season at the end of the season. Due to his fame as one of the best domestic Twenty20 players in the country, he was highly sought after for the Big Bash League. He decided to remain in WA and play for the Perth Scorchers. He played in the second game against the Melbourne Renegades after struggling with a difficult back, which was part of the new Australian tour of South Africa, and made 99* claiming to join the Test team against India. He then waited for the next few games.
Marsh was dropped from the Perth Scorchers and later the Western Australian team in October 2012 after an off-field injury during the Champions League Twenty20 tournament in South Africa, compounding a lean run of form.
Marsh's open debate with former colleague and new Western Australian coach Justin Langer helped him regained his confidence and eventually his spot in the state team.
Marsh has excelled in the Twenty2020 style of cricket, and during the 2012-2013 Big Bash League, he scored five half-centuries in nine innings, bringing the tournament's top run scorer and supporting the Scorchers in the final. On his return to the Western Australian state team, he maintained his good form. In the second innings of a come-from-behind victory at the Gabba, he scored 155 not out in the one-day game and backed it up with 84.
He signed with Glamorgan in 2019 ahead of the 2019 County Championship in England. Marsh made his 30th century in first-class cricket in October 2020 in the third round of matches in the 2020–21 Sheffield Shield season.
Indian Premier League career
With a deal in the 2008 Indian Premier League, where he opened the batting for the Kings XI Punjab, he was rewarded for his good form with the Western Warriors. Marsh scored the most runs in the tournament's final league stage match against the Rajasthan Royals despite missing the first four games. In the 2008 IPL championship, he was rewarded for scoring the most runs. Shaun Marsh was chosen in the inaugural IPL dream team selected by the cricketing website Cricinfo, alongside cricket legends Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara, Glenn McGrath, and Shane Warne, as well as other young talents such as Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, and Yusuf Pathan. Marsh has been playing for Kings XI Punjab since the start of the Indian Premier League, making him one of the team's most important players.
He was selected in the Cricinfo IPL XI for his 2011 appearances.
International career
Marsh was given a Cricket Australia contract and called up to the Australian Cricket Tour of the West Indies due to his excellent form during the 2007-08 season.
In a Twenty20 game against the West Indies in June 2008, he made his Australian debut with Australia, alongside fellow West Australian debutant Luke Ronchi. They began their batting partnership with 57 runs from the first six overs, with Marsh having to be dismissed shortly after for 29 runs from 22 balls, including two sixes and a four. He made a memorable One Day International debut a few days later, leading scoring for the match with 81 runs from 97 balls and winning the Man of the Match award. Marsh was able to secure one of Australia's longest-serving ODI opening batsmen in Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden's retirements in recent years. Marsh did well in the first two ODI matches, top-scoring in both matches and winning the Man of the Match award in the second game on the South African tour of Australia. In five of his ten matches, he has scored more than 50 points and scored his first century, defeating India in their 5th ODI match on November 5, 2009.
Marsh was called into the Test cricket squad for Australia's tour of India in 2008, but was not selected for a match.
Marsh claimed his second ODI century (110) in a historic ninth-wicket match against England at Hobart on January 21, 2011. Australia went on to win by 46 runs in the match, and Marsh was named Player of the Match.
Marsh was chosen by the Australian Test Squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in July 2011 and his father was given the baggy green by his father. On his debut against Sri Lanka on September 8, 2011, Marsh became the 19th Australian to score a century on Test debut. He scored 141 runs and shared a 258-run 4th wicket partnership with Michael Hussey, who scored 142 runs. He appeared in one Test in Australia's following tour of South Africa before missing three Tests due to a back injury. In Australia's 2011-12 home series against India, he played all four Tests but failed to average 17 runs at an average of 2.67, with three ducks. After continuing to have poor form at a domestic level, he was banned from the Test squad.
Marsh did not return to the Test team until 2014, and he was a fringe player who has been called on to assist an injured top-order batsman on several occasions. In February 2014 as a replacement for Shane Watson in the first Test of Australia's 2013-14 tour of South Africa, he scored 148 runs in his first innings but was dropped after receiving a pair in the second Test. After captain Michael Clarke tore his hamstring and scored 254 runs at 42.33 in three Tests, he was called back to the team in December 2014 for the home series against India. After Chris Rogers suffered with concussion and scored 112 runs at 37.33, he appeared in both Tests in the West Indies' 2015 tour. He toured with the Australian team in the 2015 Ashes series, but in the sole Test for which he was selected, he did not fail (with scores of 0 and 2)). He played two home Tests in 2015–16, one against New Zealand and one against the West Indies after Usman Khawaja sustained a hamstring injury, and his opponent in the match against the West Indies scored 182, his highest score of his career to date.
Marsh was recalled as the first choice opening batsman in Australia's tour of Sri Lanka after three years on the fringe. During the three-Test series, Australia's batsmen had difficulty in the Sri Lankan climate, losing 3–0, but Marsh showed an understanding and scored a century (130) in his return innings. He was selected for the first home Test of the 2016–17 Australian summer against South Africa before being barred from the remainder of the series due to a broken finger.
He was granted a national contract by Cricket Australia in April 2018.
He was selected in Australia's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup in April 2019. Marsh was however barred from the rest of the tournament due to a fractured forearm. Peter Handscomb was recalled as his replacement.
