Australia’s selectors name their Test squad for the upcoming series against South Africa, keeping Marnus Labuschagne in the team despite a recent run of poor form. Labuschagne is 32 years old and continues to be selected as part of Australia’s preparations for the matches.
Both outlets report that the decision is significant because Labuschagne’s recent performances have not been strong. The emphasis is on selectors “keeping faith” in him rather than replacing him with another batter. While the sources provided do not detail the rest of the squad or the specific reasons given by selectors, they align on the core point: Labuschagne is not dropped for the South Africa Test matches.
