Marnus Back For Brisbane | Brisbane Heat

The breakout batsman of the past 12 months for Australia will suit up for the KFC Big Bash League once again, agreeing to play for the Heat for his fifth season in the BBL.

Having forged an enviable reputation as a brilliant Test and 50-over batsman, the 26-year-old showed his enormous potential in the game’s shortest format in last season’s BBL and then again during Australia’s recent winter limited overs tour of England.

Playing in an intra-squad practice game facing a full-strength Australian bowling attack, Labuschagne peeled off a dazzling 100 from just 51 balls, prompting Australia coach Justin Langer to suggest his bright future as a potential three format player for the Aussies.
