According to Cricket Australia's website, Sam Konstas, who replaced Nathan McSweeney in the team for the fourth and fifth Test against India, is going to debut in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Konstas will become the 468th Australian male Test player on Boxing Day. Will go, but the fitness of star batsman Travis Head remains doubtful before the fourth Test against India. Coach Andrew McDonald confirmed on Christmas Eve that Constas would make his Test debut.
McDonald said this is different from Australia's Test protocol, according to which captain Cummins usually confirms the playing XI on the eve of the match or at the time of the toss. But selector Tony Dodamed told Constas during training at the MCG this morning that he would be handed the cap in front of a packed stadium on Thursday, in a bid to curb speculation and give the batting group a chance to formulate their plans.
However, Head is not certain to play as McDonald said on Tuesday that the star batsman had suffered a “mild quadriceps strain” while batting in Australia's second innings on the final day of the third Test at the Gabba. While the coach is confident that Head will be declared fit, the left-handed batsman still needs clearance from the medical staff to ensure that there are no restrictions on his movements while batting or on the field. Don't be.
Let us tell you that in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Travis Head is the highest run-scorer. He has scored 409 runs in 5 innings of 3 matches against India at an average of 81.80. During this period, he also has two centuries and one half-century to his name.
