Marnus Labuschagne sends bold message to Pat Cummins, plots Ashes 2025-26 return ...Middle East

Marnus, who had been a regular in Australia’s Test team since 2019, was dropped for the West Indies series after averaging just 27.82 with one century over the past two years. He last played in the World Test Championship final against South Africa in June but scored only 17 and 22 while opening the innings.

"It was tough because you never want to be dropped," Labuschagne told News Corp in his first interview since losing his spot.

"I mean that's part of the game. There is a tipping point but it's something I thrive on… proving the doubters wrong and being able to find a way. Missing those West Indies Tests gave me the chance to back and think, 'This is where I want to be and this is how I'm going to get there'."

"I would be happy to do that - I would love to,'' he said. "If opener is where I need to bat to be playing in the Test team, that's fine. If you had asked me where I prefer to bat obviously I have batted at three my whole career, but at this stage you don't get a choice.
