Western Australia's cricketing bad boy Shaun Marsh has been dropped for the Warriors' Sheffield Shield game against Victoria but for no other reason than poor form.

That's the official line coming from the WACA after its chief executive Christina Matthews denied a boozy night out in South Africa for Mitch Marsh's 21st birthday had contributed to the axing.

The Marsh brothers were hauled over the coals along with several teammates from the Perth Scorchers after they were out late drinking in the lead-up to their crucial last pool game in the Champions League Twenty20.

Shaun Marsh was left out of the side for that game - a heavy loss - and was not picked to take on Victoria this weekend after arriving back in Australia.

Speculation had been rife that Marsh's Shield axing was also discipline related but speaking at a press conference in Perth, Matthews said that was purely a match committee decision.

"Shaun's ommission from the team today has been a match committee decision and there's been no official sanctions put on him as a result of anything that happened in South Africa," Matthews said.

Meanwhile, The Australian cricket journalist Peter Lalor says there is a culture problem in Western Australian cricket, with behavioural issues existing throughout the set-up.

Speaking exclusively to Fox Sports News, Lalor said Shaun Marsh will never play for Australia again, due mainly to where he's playing his cricket.

"There were six guys out that night (at Mitch Marsh's 21st in South Africa) and they all put in a pretty big effort," Lalor said.

"Shaun Marsh was one who struggled to get home but those two (the Marsh brothers) have been isolated and that's caused problems behind the scenes.

"... It's not just (the Marsh brothers) but these two boys do have a lot of priors in this area, especially Shaun and, you know, I don't think we'll be seeing Shaun in the national team again.

"Mitch has a chance cause he's young but I think everyone's got sick of where Shaun's at."
