Marnus Labuschagne announced he wanted to be a player of three formats for Australia, Labuschagne’s best T20 campaign came last year with Glamorgan in the UK’s T20 Blast.
During this, he performed in eight matches at an average of 55 at an average of 140 and took nine wickets. “I’ve always wanted to play for Australia as much as I can,” he told Today.

“It’s just about taking opportunities. Playing for Australia will come when I continue to perform … with Brisbane Heat and with Glamorgan in T20 Blast.
“I just have to keep growing and learn my game. That’s all. The selection material is out of my control, it has to happen naturally as I perform in T20 cricket.”
Labuschagne has long been backed to become an all-format player – both David Warner and Darren Lehmann are predicted to be on their way in 2019.
But the man himself believes such a situation will become increasingly rare given the hectic nature of the international and domestic cricket calendar. Which he says will increase the potential for specialization of players.
“There’s a lot of talk about the schedule being so full,” he said. “I think we will see less and less players in three formats.
“I don’t think there will be many of them because the T20 game is just skyrocketing – there are so many competitions now, there are people who are playing so much cricket.
“The gap between long-format cricket and short-format cricket is just getting bigger.”
Labuschagne’s return to the Heat is another boost for the Big Bash as it looks to compete in a growing market.
The right-hander has described the arrival of more domestic leagues through the Southern Hemisphere as presenting the Australian tournament with “an ongoing challenge”.
“We’ve got two (other) competitions in our window now with the South African League and the UAE League … and playing in our competition,” he said.
“If we can have that, there shouldn’t be a problem. Hopefully, this year is a big step toward getting our competition back to its best.”
On a day when Test batsman Travis Head also recommended for the Adelaide Strikers through a two-year contract extension, Labuschagne said more Australia players would add significantly to the BBL, however, their respective decisions to play depend on several factors. will depend.
“We are available to play, but everyone is different,” he said. “You have people from young families, you have people with really high workloads who are playing three formats all the time.

“So it’s hard to expect those guys to be always available. Hopefully, we’ll get a lot of Test players because it’s great for the competition, but everyone has to make their own decisions.”
