Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His breakthrough performance came in the Sheffield Shield final of 2014/15, where he was the Man of the Match, scoring 81 and 158 against Victoria at the Bellerive Oval. However, it failed to grab the attention of the selectors since it came in a stalemate, causing the opposition to win the title. His form went through a bit of a dip, and he had to leave Western Australia for Victoria before the start of the 2016/17 season of the Sheffield Shield, given the first-class average of 28.43 - an unflattering one for such a talented cricketer according to his then-coach Justin Langer, who would go on to coach him when he first received his Baggy Green in 2018.
The move to Victoria was a pivotal decision in the life of Marcus Harris. After a run-glut in the first phase of the Sheffield Shield season, a wounded Australian side called him up to play the home Test series against India, where he exhibited maturity and resistance becoming of a top-class Test opener. Now being coached by Justin Langer, his ex-coach in Shield cricket, Harris was a comfortable member in the Australian dressing room, donning the Baggy Green with dignity in the troubled times for Australian cricket.
The diminutive opener scored two fifties in his debut series but that wasn't enough to save Australia the blushes. A workmanlike batter, Harris did learn the trade of batting the hard way as the Indian bowlers hardly gave anything away. His first fifty at Perth though helped Australia to lay a strong base for a series-leveling win. Later against the touring Lankans, Harris got off to starts before throwing his wicket away. Harris is a part of the 2019 touring Ashes team.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A diminutive opening batter, Marcus Harris burst on to the Australian domestic scene in 2010-11 when he scored 157 in his third first-class match, which made him, at 18, the youngest Australian to score a first-class 150. A semi-regular for Western Australia over the next few years, Harris was Player of the Match in the 2014-15 Sheffield Shield final when he scored 81 and 158 against Victoria in Hobart, but it was ultimately futile for WA as the match finished in a draw, which handed the title to Victoria. In 2016, Harris made the move from Western Australia to Victoria, having played 41 Sheffield Shield games for his home state, scoring more than 2000 runs at 28.43 with four centuries - a record that frustrated his then state coach Justin Langer who believed he was capable of much more.
The move sparked an outstanding run of form for Victoria and would bring the ultimate reward when, two years later, he was handed a Test call-up for the 2018-19 series against India following a prolific start to the domestic season, which included a career-best 250 against New South Wales. It reunited him with Langer, now the Australia Test coach, who said: "I've known him at Scarborough Cricket Club since he was about 10 years old. Did I say mediocre with flashes of brilliance? Yeah, I did, because that's what he was. That's the truth. What he's done to his great credit is, he's become a really consistent opening batsman with flashes of brilliance."
Harris responded encouragingly to Test match pressure scoring two half-centuries as Australia's most consistent player in a 2-1 loss against a world-class India attack. However, he missed out against Sri Lanka to leave his spot vulnerable to the impending return of David Warner and indeed lost his place at the start of the 2019 Ashes. He returned midway through the series but, like Warner, was picked apart by England's quicks.
That was his last appearance until early 2021 when he was recalled against India and held his place to start the following season's Ashes. However, despite top-scoring on a devilish MCG surface, he lost his place to accommodate Usman Khawaja's prolific comeback.
