He Has To Learn On The Job: Hussey On Struggling Konstas

By IANS News July 03, 2025 • 13:30 PM View: 496

With Steve Smith: Former Australian batter Michael Hussey feels that teenage Test opener Sam Konstas will take time to learn things after a flop show in the first Test against West Indies in Barbados.

Konstas was unable to handle Shamar Joseph’s fiery opening spells in either innings, falling to the West Indies pacer twice and managing just 3 and 5 runs.

The 19-year-old had made a sparkling start to his international career last summer with a rapid half-century against India at the MCG but has since failed to pass fifty in five consecutive Test innings.
