The Aussies batters may be tough to deceive in their own backyard but one thing the new generation of Australian batters is not too familiar with is playing spinners in the subcontinent. 

As Australia prepares for its historic tour to Pakistan, Marnus Labuschagne believes that the only part that they don't have cover for is spin. 

A video of Labuschagne went viral on social media where he prepared a batting track on a mat with aluminium and metal pieces to simulate spin conditions in his backyard. The 27-year-old revealed that he consulted Steve Smith before coming up with that idea.

Australia will play 3 Tests, 3 ODIs and a lone T20 match in Pakistan starting March 4.
