Sam Konstas' Journey So Far

The 2023 debutant had a rough start in his first match against Tasmania, but Sam Konstas has since turned things around with some impressive performances, putting himself in the conversation for a spot in the Australia Men’s squad.

Playing in the Sheffield Shield for New South Wales, the 19-year-old has scored two centuries and racked up a total of 369 runs across six innings. In the recent India A vs. Australia A match in October, he made a notable impact, scoring 92 runs in four innings, including a solid 73 off 128 balls during the second innings of the second Test.

Konstas Up For BGT 2024-25?

Konstas also stood out in the U-19 World Cup 2024, where he notched a century against the West Indies. Given his recent form, there is a buzz about his potential selection for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, and he seems to have a strong chance, especially after his performance in the PM’s XI match against India.

With Australia still seeking clarity on a opening batting position in Test cricket, Sam Konstas could be a great option to step in, because of his ability to build solid and stable innings for the game.
