I’ve Been Training Hard And Understand The Reasons Why They Picked: Konstas Ready For Windies Tests
Boxing Day Test: Australia’s teenage batting prodigy Sam Konstas is back in Baggy Green - this time with more maturity, more self-awareness and perhaps a little less of the audacity that marked his eye-catching debut against India six months ago.
At just 19, Konstas’ cricketing journey has already taken him from the cauldron of a Boxing Day Test to the laid-back Caribbean breeze, where he’s set to open the innings alongside Usman Khawaja in the first Test against the West Indies at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, starting Wednesday.
“It’s a dream come true, to be honest,” Konstas said in Bridgetown. “(To be) 19 years old, playing for your country, travelling the world, getting to experience different cultures and (play against) the best players as well… I’m lucky to be where I am,” he said.
