    Boxing Day Test: Former Australia fast-bowler Jason Gillespie said giving teenaged opener Sam Konstas a call-up to the Test team for fourth and fifth Tests against India is quite exciting and wants the hosts’ to get the youngster in the playing eleven.

    If selected for the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne starting on December 26, Konstas would become the fourth-youngest men’s Test debutant in Australia’s history and the youngest player to enter the longer format since current captain Pat Cummins debuted in 2011.

    "Get the young fella in. I'm never against giving young players an opportunity. Over the last few years, there hasn't been a lot of new blood, given the selectors and the coach value experience over everything else. This is quite exciting," said Gillespie on ABC’s Summer Grandstand show on Saturday.
