Sam Konstas Is A Player For The Future Because He Has A Wonderful Technique, Says Brett Lee
Though Sam Konstas: Though Sam Konstas fell for just two in the ongoing Sheffield Shield match for his team New South Wales, former Australia fast-bowler Brett Lee said the youngster is someone who can play international cricket in the future due to his wonderful technique. Konstas was named in the Australia A squad for the upcoming two red-ball games against India A and is in the mix alongside Matthew Renshaw, Cameron Bancroft and Marcus Harris to open the batting for Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
He shot into the limelight by scoring twin centuries against South Australia in the opening round of Sheffield Shield. Those twin centuries also earned him the distinction of being the first teenager to achieve this feat in the Sheffield Shield since the legendary Ricky Ponting did so in 1993. Konstas had been a member of the Australian team winning this year’s U19 World Cup in South Africa.
“I think what they potentially should do is look for a guy like Sam Konstas because he has a wonderful technique and he is definitely a player of the future. It is only a matter of time, in my opinion, until he plays for Australia. So why not (pick) him now?”
