Marnus Labuschagne is chasing a Test century to end more than two years without one, aiming to return to peak form after a lean run since his 2023 century against England.

He has shifted his mindset from chasing quick runs to trusting the process and focusing on fundamentals, letting results follow.

Labuschagne is emphasizing his strengths—dominant leg-side pull and on-side play—and relying on technique and process to generate rhythm.

Australia’s Brisbane training camp has been crucial, with five weeks of focused work ahead of the Bangladesh series.

The Bangladesh series squad includes Pat Cummins as captain alongside Labuschagne, Smith, Lyon, Starc, Green, Head, Carey, Hazlewood, Inglis, Boland, Weatherald, and Webster.

Another listing of the Bangladesh squad reinforces the same core group, including Labuschagne, Cummins, Smith, Lyon, and Starc.

Labuschagne remains in Australia’s squad for the two-Test Bangladesh series and is expected to hold the No. 3 position in Darwin for the opening Test.

He acknowledges that making technical changes on tour is hard and stresses staying present in the moment and reading the game as it unfolds.

Labuschagne credits his readiness to trust his game and preparation, stressing the importance of a strong start after a long break from constant touring.

Looking ahead, Australia faces 21 Tests in 12 months against several top sides, with emphasis on starting well to build rhythm for future series.

His longest break in years allowed him to reset, focus on fundamentals, and return to form through recent preparation with Australia and domestic cricket.

He admits he rushed innings in the previous Ashes and notes that selectors are watching as Australia prepares for a year of Test cricket.
