Australian prolific run-scorer Marnus Labuschagne said that he is raring to play lot of cricket when it starts after the Covid-19 pandemic

‘’There is going to be a lot of tours that will need to be made up. There's going to be a whole heap of cricket in a very short time frame. We'll be making up for a missed time, that schedule is just going to be packed. ," Labuschagne was quoted in Australian Associated Press.

 "It's going to be a bit different to what we're used to. We're going to have to be ready coming out of this break to play heaps and heaps of cricket,’’ he said.

The 25-year-old has been a revelation since stepping up as Steve Smith's concussion substitute at Lord's in last year's Ashes series in England.

In the subsequent series against Pakistan and New Zealand, the right-hander smashed four centuries in five tests, including a maiden double hundred in Sydney earlier this year.

Labuschagne said that his county stint with Glamorgan helped him rise as a batsman and added that he is disappointed that it is still uncertain to play in this year competition as ECB has suspended all cricket till July 1.

‘’I really enjoyed it last year. I loved Glamorgan, hence why I signed a two-year extension. It's disappointing to see them and England cricket in trouble. It's our responsibility, cricket on the whole, to make sure once this period is over that we get games on television and get the sport started again. We need to support each other,’’ he concluded.
