Struggling batter Marnus Labuschagne has been axed from Australia’s one-day international squad.
Labuschagne was a notable omission from a 17-player list released on Tuesday.
The squad will play white-ball series in Zimbabwe and South Africa later this month.
Labuschagne is also in danger of losing his spot in the Test side when it next plays in South Africa following the ODI series.
Chief selector George Bailey will front media later on Tuesday to explain the Labuschagne situation.
The 32-year-old averages 33.55 from 72 ODI matches, but has registered just one half century in his last 16 innings and hasn’t scored a century in three years.
Labuschagne hasn’t scored a Test century in 43 innings and has been clinging to his spot in the batting order amid intense scrutiny and criticism.
