10. Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne is an Australian batter. The middle-order batter is known for his exploits in Test cricket. The Australian number 3 was a part of the Australian team that recently won the World Test Championship final against India at The Oval. Labuschagne recently found success in ODIs as well and was picked in the Australian World Cup squad as a replacement for Ashton Agar. In the T20Is, Labuschagne is yet to make a mark. However, it is interesting to note that the talented batter started his career as a leg spinner. In fact, when he got an opportunity to play for the Australian team, he was primarily picked in the team as a bowler who could bat a bit.
