The ultimate Test showdown is just around the corner, and Australian stars are turning up the heat with redemption ahead of the Ashes. Before stepping onto the grand stage, they’re fine-tuning their game in the Sheffield Shield, but Marnus Labuschagne’s outstanding form is grabbing attention.

As the Aussie batter is playing the domestic tournament for Queensland, he smashed another thrilling hundred. Ahead of the upcoming Ashes, Labuschagne’s current form has become a big boost for the Aussies.

Marnus continues his Sheffield Shield masterclass with another ton

The exciting time of Test cricket is coming back as the historic Ashes is returning with yet another thrilling season. Anticipation is soaring, and players are sharpening every edge of their game. With that, Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne is shining bright in the ongoing Sheffield Shield season.

Donning the Queensland jersey, the Aussie batter has given a great start, and in the ongoing clash against South Australia, he started off where he left the previous game. Chasing 229 in the first innings, Queensland’s top order wobbled early, but Marnus Labuschagne stood tall, digging in with grit and determination.

Anchoring the innings, the batter turned the steady start into a gritty knock. After reaching a vital half-century, he shifted gears, taking charge against the bowlers. In just 129 balls, he brought up another dazzling century with a crisp boundary. With that, he showcased his excellence in front of the world as it is marked as the fourth hundred in his last five innings.

Powerful message to selectors before the Ashes

Lately, Marnus Labuschagne’s spot in Australia’s Test lineup has been in question. After the WTC final in June 2025, he remained out of the side. Adding to his woes, he has been snubbed from the recent white-ball series squad against India.

However, as the high-voltage Ashes is coming up and Australia has yet to decide their squad, Labuschagne’s recent heroics make him a strong contender for the selection. Four centuries in five innings speak volumes of his brilliance, and his presence at number three could be a game-changing boost for the team.
