Australia are set to leave Marnus Labuschagne out for the first Test against the West Indies.
Steve Smith has been officially ruled out of Australia’s first Test against the West Indies in Barbados, as selectors swing the axe on underperforming batter Marnus Labuschagne after a lean run.However, in major news five days out from the first Test in Bridgetown starting on Wednesday, selectors have confirmed that Labuschagne will be dropped from Australia’s XI.
Konstas is likely to partner Khawaja at the top of the order, while Inglis, who made a century on Test debut in Sri Lanka earlier this year, could slot in at No.3 with Cam Green at No.4 in Smith’s absence. “Marnus at his best can be a really important member of this team.
