After being dropped from the side, Marnus Labuschagne has gone back to the drawing board with the aim of regaining his spot in the Australian team for The Ashes.

The long-time number three batsman in the batting lineup was dropped from the Test tour of the West Indies in June-July, due to his lengthy rough patch with the willow.

"But it`s been a nice time to reset, be able to recalibrate and go, `Okay I missed that West Indies series, how am I going to get myself ready to play the Ashes?," he said.
