The fiery batter now wants to ace the batting in the middle order before he appears in the World cup 2023. While talking to the media Labuchagne expressed
“Looking back on it, I certainly wish I’d played a slightly different way,I almost started a little too defensively so I’m just reviewing my theories there and wished I’d applied my Test method a little bit more in those conditions; sweeping the ball, using my feet a little more. It was a bit disappointing from my end, that I didn’t really do that until the Test series came. For me, it’s a learning experience.”
Other batters at the 5th position other than Marnus Labuschagne

“I enjoy the different challenges, that’s for sure, I always like batting in the top order, I’ve spent my whole life there, but understanding the team make-up, batting at No. 5, I need to continue to get better at that role and through the middle overs understanding when to attack and defend. It’s about really trusting myself. That’s the great thing with the coaching staff, they have full trust in us as players, to take the game on and put pressure back on the opposition.”
