Konstas, Peake, McSweeney Named In Australia A Squad For India Tour

By IANS News August 07, 2025 • 12:14 PM View: 401

Sam Konstas: Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney have been named in Australia A squad for the two red-ball four-day matches against India A in September, with an eye towards Australia's 2027 Test tour rather than the upcoming Ashes.

Teenage talent Oliver Peake and promising Victoria opener Campbell Kellaway have also been named in the squad. However, notable performers from the recent Australia A series against Sri Lanka A - Jake Weatherald, Jason Sangha and Kurtis Patterson - have missed out on selection.

Experienced openers with Test caps - Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw - were also excluded. Renshaw has already toured India twice for Tests, while Bancroft previously impressed on an Australia A tour in 2015, scoring 150 against an India A side packed with nine Test players.
