Axed Australia Batsman Marnus Labuschagne 'Back To Drawing Board' In Ashes Bid

By AFP News September 04, 2025 • 08:01 AM View: 832

Marnus Labuschagne has gone "back to the drawing board" in a bid to regain his Australia spot for the Ashes, boosted by knowing he was once the top batsman in the world.

The long-time number three in Australia's batting order was dropped from the Test tour of the West Indies in June-July after a sustained lean spell.
