Marnus Labuschagne has shared a video on social media wherein he could be seen playing campsite cricket. In the video, the player could be seen batting on a rough pitch. While he plays a cut shot from the back foot and a drive later, Labuschagne also shows off his pull shot and defending skills during the practice. "Some campsite cricket on one of the rougher pitches I've ever played on. It also produced a certified 'lowey," the Australian batter captioned his post.
