Australia's star batter Marnus Labuschagne is currently enjoying his time off cricket ahead of the team's upcoming white-ball series against Zimbabwe and New Zealand.

Labuschagne took to his Instagram account earlier today (Friday) to share a video of him taking some high catches at the beach in windy conditions. The 28-year-old, in his caption, mentioned that the wind speed was 55 km/h at the time.

He posted:

"High balls on the beach in 55km/h winds 😂 #campingfun."

Marnus Labuschagne was last seen in action during Australia's tour of Sri Lanka earlier this month. The right-hander impressed with his fine knock of 104 in the Test series decider at Galle.

The batter managed 116 runs from his five appearances in the ODI series against the hosts. With 149 runs to his name, he was Australia's second-highest run-getter in the subsequent two-match Test series.

Australia started off their Sri Lanka tour on a positive note by winning the T20I rubber 2-1. However, the hosts bounced back to clinch the ODI series 3-2. The Test series ended in a 1-1 draw.
