Former Australian pacer Jason Gillespie feels that the West Indies tour is the last chance for Marnus Labuschagne to prove his worth in the team as another poor performance may affect his chances of cementing a place for the Ashes.

"It is a difficult question. But over the last two years, he has averaged in the mid-20s, and he has got only one hundred. If he does play in the Caribbean, I think it is definitely last chance saloon, there is no doubt about that. I think if he does not perform strongly, then I think he is at a real risk of not playing in the Ashes," said Gillespie while speaking to SEN.

Marnus Labuschagne, who was promoted to open the innings for Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa, failed to deliver a memorable performance. He ended the WTC 2023-25 cycle with 974 runs in 20 innings. Following the retirement of the legendary David Warner, Australia has been struggling to fill the vacant spot at the top.
