Smith fails to find place in Mitchell Marsh-led Australia T20 WC squad
Besides Smith, the other notable omissions from the T20 World Cup squad are youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk, experienced seamer Jason Behrendorff and all-rounder Matt Short.
In the ICC Test rankings, Smith is currently the number two ranked batsman while Labuschagne is at the third place.
The ICC’s official Twitter handle on Saturday called Australian Marnus Labuschagne a duplicate of compatriot and former skipper Steve Smith. In the ongoing social challenge, where users share a four-photo mosaic of profile photos from different social media handles, the ICC used three different photos of Steve Smith indicating different profile pictures for Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram.
However, they replaced the Twitter part, captioning it a duplicate account and used Labuschagne’s photo in it.

Both the Aussie batsmen are currently playing in the Big Bash League (BBL).
Earlier in the day, the ICC had also tried to pull Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara’s leg, using just one same photo for all social media platforms.
