Gun opener Sam Konstas will join the fast track into national team colours when he is named in the Australia A squad this week.
Batting prodigy Sam Konstas will join the fast track into national team colours when he is named in the Australia A squad this week, while India may be setting up a Test match showdown between fast bowling captains in Perth next month.
Twin centuries against South Australia last week made Konstas the first teenager to achieve that feat in the Shield since an 18-year-old Ricky Ponting in 1993, and further big scores against Victoria and India A would conceivably make him a rough chance to vault into the Test team against India.Another young batter to watch will be SA’s captain Nathan McSweeney, who alongside a freewheeling Alex Carey made the hundreds that prevented NSW from spinning to victory after Konstas’ centuries.
Bumrah, who has already led India in one Test and was this week named vice-captain, is not shy about saying that fast bowlers should be considered as leadership material more often than in the past. It is through Cummins’ example that Bumrah’s interest in leadership has been fired, as the Australian captain has shown leadership need not be a burden for a fast bowler, but a responsibility on which to thrive as a senior player.
