Breaking: Labuschagne retained for South Africa Test series despite pressure
Despite mounting pressure over his poor form, Marnus Labuschagne keeps his spot in Australia's Test squad for the upcoming three-Test tour of South Africa.
Marnus Labuschagne has been retained for Australia's upcoming Test series in South Africa, despite mounting pressure to be dropped following more than three years without a Test century. The 32-year-old, who has never played a Test in South Africa, his birthplace and the first decade of his life, will join the 16-man squad that includes Cooper Connolly, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Michael Neser.
The Australian team will face South Africa in three Tests at Durban (October 9-13), Gqeberha (October 18-22), and Cape Town (October 27-31).
