'A reason I'm still there': Labuschagne on Test spot

Marnus Labuschagne begins his domestic season for Queensland against Victoria on Saturday, following his exclusion from Australia's ODI squad currently in Zimbabwe.
Labuschagne was axed from the 50-over squad, which is currently in Zimbabwe and soon to play South Africa, creating time for him to refine his preparation.
The veteran of 65 Tests retained his spot despite scoring only 36 runs in three innings against Bangladesh, though pundits questioned his inclusion for the South African tour.
Labuschagne told reporters on Friday, "Criticism is part of the job," while acknowledging his performance decline has opened him to scrutiny. He insisted his game remains in good order.
Australians meet South Africa in a three-Test series beginning October 9 in Durban, where Labuschagne aims to regain his standard and prove officials' confidence justified.
