Australia have announced their playing XI for the blockbuster World Test Championship final against South Africa at the Lord’s, starting June 11. They have made a bold decision, handing Marnus Labuschagne the opening spot for the high-voltage match. Notably, Labuschagne has never opened in Test cricket before and has been in poor form in the ongoing WTC cycle. He has averaged 28.33 in this cycle and that puts his spot in the playing XI under threat.
