Sam Konstas Is An Australian Player In Waiting, Says NSW Coach Shipperd
New South Wales: Shortly after teenaged opener Sam Konstas was named in the Australia A squad for the upcoming red-ball games against India A, New South Wales head coach Greg Shipperd heaped rich praise on him, saying he is a player who has the potential to play for the senior team.
Konstas, 19, lit up the ongoing Sheffield Shield tournament by scoring twin centuries against South Australia in the opening round. It earned him the distinction of being the first teenager to achieve this feat in the Shield since Ricky Ponting did so in 1993. He had been a member of Australian team winning this year’s U19 World Cup in South Africa.
But the youngster will face tough competition as capped players Marcus Harris and Cameron Bancroft have also been selected in the Australia A squad set to face India A at Mackay and Melbourne on October 31 and November 7, respectively.
