World cup final
Labuschagne Reveals Being Dropped Multiple Times Before His Crucial Role In WC Victory
ODI World Cup: Marnus Labuschagne revealed the he was told by selectors about his potential drops on several occasions before becoming pivotal in the 2023 ODI World Cup triumph. But the 29-year-old sees a greater force at work after contributing significantly to Australia's World Cup Final victory over India.
It was a surreal World Cup ride from Labuschagne, who wasn't in Australia's provisional World Cup squad. A calf injury to Ashton Agar made Labuschagne a last-minute addition to the squad.
However, his place in the side was questioned throughout the group stage as he had scored just 304 runs from nine innings before playing a pivotal role with an undefeated 58 in the victory by six wickets in the final.
