Australia’s cricket team is facing selection decisions ahead of the Boxing Day Test against India, with young talent Sam Konstas making a case for his inclusion. Konstas, who believes he has improved as a batter since his twin tons for New South Wales earlier in the summer, has impressed with his performances in domestic cricket, averaging 55.83. Despite Australia’s top order struggles, selectors are expected to make changes to the XI for the upcoming Test, with Scott Boland likely to replace the injured Josh Hazlewood. Konstas, who has been mentored by David Warner, is eager to make his debut and learn from experienced players. Captain Pat Cummins has defended the team’s performance in the drawn Test at the Gabba and praised the selectors’ ability to make tough decisions. The squad for the fourth Test is set to be announced soon, with questions surrounding Mitchell Marsh’s place in the team.
