Labuschagne failed to make an impact in the third and final Test in Cape Town, scoring just 0 and 4 during Australia's 176-run defeat against South Africa. His poor performance has increased pressure on the selectors, and he is now highly likely to miss the Test series against New Zealand at home. Earlier, Cricket Australia name squads for England series; Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood rested.
The 32-year-old has also gone almost three-and-a-half years without scoring a Test century. Since returning to the Australian Test team for last season's Ashes, he failed to score even a fifty in 16 Test innings and averaged only 23.66.
He felt the selectors had put the Queensland batter under unnecessary pressure by continuing to pick him despite his poor performances. Katich said on SEN: “What they've got more horribly wrong is they've potentially crucified a bloke's career … He might not come back from this.”

Andrew McDonald said at the post-match press conference, as reported by Cricinfo, “What I can say is that any opportunity that you get to play for Australia, I don't think damages you. I think there's even been critiquing of some of our younger players where they've been placed and the harm that that may cause to their careers and things like that.”
Andrew McDonald hints at big decision on Marnus Labuschagne's Test future
At the same time, McDonald admitted that the Australian team management and selectors will have to reassess Labuschagne's place in the Test side in the coming days.
McDonald signed off by saying, “He's had some opportunities that he's missed on this tour in particular, so that'll be something in the next week or so that we'll get our heads around. We're not in a rush to make decisions. There's too much emotion. But, as I said, he hasn't taken his opportunity on this tour.”
