The player’s entry into the Australian team, who screwed Virat Kohli.
New Delhi. Australia’s top-order batsman Marnas Labushen has been dropped from the team for the first Test against the West Indies next week, while Steve Smith is out due to injury. Chief selector George Bailey has confirmed 19 -year -old Sam Constas and Josh English to be elected in their place. Labushen had been struggling for continuity for the last few months.
Please tell that Labushen’s last Test century came in 2023. Australia tried to solve the problem by sending him to the opening with Usman Khwaja in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, but he could not convert his debut into a big score, he scored 17 (56) and 22 (64) runs. Constas impressed his aggressive batting style in the domestic series against India. He also clashed with Virat Kohli during the series.
Smith suffered a serious injury to the small finger of his right hand in an attempt to catch the catch of South African captain Temba Bavuma in the WTC final. Bailey said that the team wants to give him ‘another week rest’ and relied on English. Who scored 102 runs in two Tests against Sri Lanka, including a century.
