Delhi: Australia’s star and experienced batsman before the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final Marnas labushen The poor form of the team is becoming a matter of concern for the management and the selectors. Labushen, playing county cricket in England, has not yet returned to form.
Playing for Glamorgan, both failed in innings in the current county championship against Labushen Northamptonshire. In the first innings, he returned to the pavilion without opening an account, while in the second innings he was dismissed for just 4 runs. In the second innings, the team had a target of only 66 runs, but after the initial shaking, the batting order stumbled, and it was the responsibility of handling the innings on Labushen. However, he could play only eight balls and was dismissed by Ben Sanderson.
In the first innings, when Labushen landed for batting, the team’s score was 46/1. However, South Australia’s fast bowler Harry CONway made him walk on the seventh ball. Labushen was caught out by Justin Broad.
This county match was an important opportunity for Labushen, who recently returned from paternity leave. However, it is clear from the performance so far that he is struggling with his form.
Even in the previous series, his performance was not as expected. He scored just 232 runs in the five Tests played against India, while in two Tests on the tour of Sri Lanka, only 50 runs came out of his bat.
Given these figures and recent failures, the discussion has intensified whether Labushen will be able to maintain his place in Australia’s final XI in the WTC final against South Africa from June 11. Although he is part of the team’s squad, his current form has become a major challenge for the selectors.
Labushen will now be hopeful that he gets another chance, so that he can prove himself and present a strong claim for the WTC final.
