Uncapped Australian batter Sam Konstas is raring to make his debut in the Test side. Konstas, who scored a blazing hundred in the pink ball warm-up game against India, felt that he was ready to play for the senior team.
Konstas has been the talk of the summer in Australia after the 19-year-old kicked off his rookie season at the Sheffield Shield with some terrific performances. Konstas built on that reputation with a terrific knock vs India on December 1, at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
"I really want the chance, I love being challenged and hopefully that can happen soon," Konstas was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia.
"I feel like I'm in a good headspace. It's been the best few months I've had, and hopefully one day I can represent my country. It would be a huge honour to represent my country one day," Konstas further added.
Before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Konstas was pipped as the replacement for David Warner. The batter showed his quality against the pink ball while playing for the Prime Minister's XI vs India. The opener took on Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna, dominating them after the first hour of play. Konstas brought up his century in just 90 balls, as wickets fell from the other end. Read More
