    Boxing Day Test: Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting believes Sam Konstas has it in him to make his mark on Test debut against India, saying the teenaged batter has the attitude in him to show the world that he’s good.

    Konstas, 19, is set to make his Test debut against India in the Boxing Day Test starting on Thursday in front of more than 90,000 fans at a sweltering Melbourne Cricket Ground after being called into the squad at the expense of Nathan McSweeney.

    Konstas, a member of the Australia-winning 2024 U19 Men’s World Cup team, scored a century while playing for the Prime Minister's XI against India in the warm-up pink-ball match at Manuka Oval in Canberra. In 11 first-class matches, Konstas has scored 718 runs at an average of 42.2, including two centuries and three fifties.
