By IANS News December 20, 2024 • 10:24 AM View: 1032

New South Wales: Young opener Nathan McSweeney has been dropped while uncapped Sam Konstas earned maiden call-up to the Australia Test squad for the last two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Melbourne and Sydney.

Konstas has been added at the expense of opener McSweeney, whose spot in Australia’s XI was being heavily debated following two single-digit scores during the drawn third Test at the Gabba.

McSweeney, who had never opened in professional cricket before this season, has made 72 runs at 14.40 in the first three Tests.
