Would be devastating if India don't tour Australia: Labuschagne

Top Australian batsman Marnus Labuschgane on Monday said he and his team would be "pretty devastated" if India don't tour Down Under later this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

India's tour of Australia will begin with a T20 tri-series in October and is scheduled to end with a four-match Test series in December. The speculation on the tour is because of the travel restrictions currently in place and the uncertainty surrounding how long it would take to control the pandemic.

Replying to a query on the tour in an online press conference Labuschagne said, "Well it would mean that we are not playing cricket which is pretty devastating for myself, the rest of the team and for the country."
"Everything is changing so quickly so it's really hard to put my finger on how everthing's going to pan out. Hopefully it does pan out well but if it doesn't it will be very disappointing."
"For me it's just about improving and make sure, once this isolation is done, I'm ready and prepared to take it on and try and go another level up."
"There's heaps to improve on, that's for sure. Personally in one-day cricket an area I want to continue to get better at is that later stages in the innings, the boundary options at the back-end of a one-day game."
"That's the beauty of the game you're never satisfied with where you are. You can be happy with where you are but you want to be better, you want to continue to drive yourself to get the absolute best out of yourself that you can."
