    BGT: Calling Up Konstas Is A Panic Move From Australia, Says Hughes

    By IANS News December 20, 2024 • 12:54 PM View: 902
    Boxing Day Test: Amidst young Sam Konstas being called up to the Australia Test squad for the last two matches against India, former cricketer Merv Hughes believes it is a 'panic' move from the hosts’.

    Konstas, 19, is now in the frame to make his debut in the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) after Australia dropped Nathan McSweeney, who made just 72 runs in the first three matches at an average of 14.40. McSweeney, who isn’t a specialist opener, was troubled a lot by India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.

    “It would have been a bold call bringing him in at the start of the season. Now it would almost be a panic call to me... Just stay calm. They drew the last Test. The last two Tests have been a draw and a win, so what is there to panic about,” said Hughes to The Courier Mail.
