Sam Konstas Departs Sri Lanka Tour Early To Focus On Sheffield Shield

By IANS News February 04, 2025 • 19:40 PM View: 1795

Australia’s promising young batter, Sam Konstas, is set to leave the team’s tour of Sri Lanka early, as selectors have decided to send him home in time for New South Wales’ upcoming Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the Gabba.

The decision comes after Konstas was not considered for selection in the second Test, with the Australian think tank keen on ensuring the 19-year-old gains more first-class experience in domestic conditions, particularly in Brisbane, where he is yet to play a Shield match.
