MELBOURNE – Batting star Marnus Labuschagne will miss Australia’s white-ball tour of West Indies in July due to “logistical complexities”, Cricket Australia said yesterday.
The 26-year-old, who is currently playing for Glamorgan in the English County Championship, was left out of a 23-man squad and is expected to now continue his duties with the Welsh club.
Labuschagne made his name in Tests, where he averages 60 from 18 matches, but recently broke into the One-Day International side and averages nearly 40 from 13 games.
National selector Trevor Hohns said but for the current COVID-19 pandemic, the player would have definitely made the Caribbean trip. (CMC)
