Konstas Hasn't Capitalised Much, Labuschagne Is The Obvious One: Ponting On Aussies' Tough Selection Call For Ashes
ICC World Test Championship: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that Australian selectors will face a challenge when selecting a team for the upcoming Ashes series, with questions surrounding the inclusion of Sam Constas and Marnus Labuschagne in the lineup.
Starting from November 21, Australia will host the five-match Ashes series, which is expected to attract global attention, as it does every year. This series will significantly impact the ICC World Test Championship standings for the current cycle, with Australia aiming for a second title and England seeking their first.
Much of the pre-series discussion in Australia focuses on the hosts’ batting order and whether young talent Sam Konstas will keep his spot in the XI amid an inconsistent beginning to his international career.
