flag Marnus Labuschagne earns top-three spot for Ashes over Cameron Green due to strong domestic form and experience.

flag Former England cricketer Mark Butcher has backed Marnus Labuschagne to bat at number three in Australia’s upcoming Ashes series, citing his 402 runs at 67.00 in the Sheffield Shield, including two centuries. flag He argues Labuschagne’s domestic form has restored confidence in his class, making him a more reliable option than Cameron Green, who averages 23.5 at number three with only one half-century in eight innings. flag Butcher believes Labuschagne’s experience and consistency offer better stability, especially against the new ball in Australia. flag His potential return to the top order could allow 31-year-old Jake Weatherald to open on Test debut, replacing young Sam Konstas, who underperformed in the West Indies. flag The move reflects a strategic emphasis on experience and balance ahead of the Perth Test.
