He's A Player Finding His Feet In The Environment: McDonald On Struggling Konstas
St George: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald feels that struggling opening batter Sam Konstas is still adjusting himself to the international cricket environment and his outing in the second Test against West Indies was a "small step forward".
McDonald added that there will be a "great opportunity" for players to stake their claim for Ashes selection through early-season domestic cricket and Australia A fixtures.
Konstas scored 25 in the first innings in Grenada but was dismissed for a duck during a short stint at the crease late on the second day. He is set to feature in the final Test at Sabina Park - also the venue's first day-night Test - which offers him a chance to finish strongly and position himself firmly in the race for a spot in the home Ashes series later this year.
