Australian Teen Sam Konstas Ready For Indian Pace Challenge

By AFP News December 22, 2024 • 12:26 PM View: 141

Teenage opener Sam Konstas says he is ready and equiped to take on India's feared pace attack in the Boxing Day Test after being called up to Australia's squad for the first time.

The 19-year-old is poised to open alongside veteran Usman Khawaja -- twice his age at 38 -- at a sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground after Nathan McSweeney was axed after just three Tests.
