Quite an inquisitive personality, Marnus Labuschagne, spent some time with a bat manufacturing expert as he explored the art of making a bat.

In a video shared by Labuschagne on X, he asked the expert about the part of the tree that makes 'better bats'. In reply to the question, the manufacturing expert said:

"I’ve spent a little bit of time in the UK with one of their felling crews, the people that are cutting down the trees. They tend to say that the best rounds, rounds meaning the section of the tree. So you traditionally get four rounds out of each three, give or take the size obviously there can be some variation there."

Normally there are four sections in a tree. And according to the expert, as the middle two do not have roots and branches, they are the best to make bats.

"Traditionally the middle two are going to be the best, there’s no root system leading in and the branch at the top. There’s more chances of their being branches up high and the root system down low. Generally, so the middle of the tree will be the best."

In some other news, Labuschagne has been left out of Australia's preliminary 18-member squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup. Though Australia can still make changes, it is highly unlikely that the 29-year-old will get selected as he has been excluded from the squads for the series versus South Africa and India also.
