Labuschagne broke into Australia’s Test team in October last year and will undoubtedly hope strong performances in the English county game can be a springboard to further international recognition, particularly with the Ashes coming up later this year.
The 24-year-old, who was born in South Africa, has scored 210 runs in five Tests at an average of 26.25, hitting a top score of 81 against Sri Lanka in January.
He has also taken nine Test wickets at an average of 27.11 with his leg-spin, though is yet to play any limited-overs games for Australia.
“I’ve always wanted to play county cricket and test myself in different conditions and a new environment, so I’m delighted to sign for Glamorgan,” said Labuschagne. “I understand it was a difficult season last year for the club, but hopefully I can hit the ground running and put in some good performances to get us off to a winning start.”
