Australia's chairman of selectors confirms the omission of Marnus Labuschagne after an extended lean run of form at the Test level. Marnus Labuschagne was Monday axed from Australia's squad for their upcoming four-Test series against New Zealand, paying the price for a long run of poor form. Labuschagne, who made scores of 0 and 4 in the third Test vs Proteas, was previously dropped from Australia's squad for the three-match away series.
