Marnus Labuschagne remains firmly confident he will reclaim his place in the Australian Test side, despite selectors axing the 32-year-old and leaving his international career in a state of limbo.

Labuschagne, one of Australia's most prominent batters in recent years, has expressed certainty that his absence from the Test setup will not last long. The Queensland batsman believes a return to the highest level is a matter of when, not if, backing himself to force his way back into contention.

The move by selectors to drop Labuschagne has raised questions about the direction of Australian Test cricket, though the batsman himself appears undeterred, insisting he has no doubt about his ability to return to the fold.
