Sports Desk, Obnews: A five-match Test series is to be played between India and Australia. This series is also called Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which is going to start from October 22. Before the start of this series, former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has advice to his national team.
Brett Lee has described 19-year-old New South Wales opening batsman Sam Constas as 'a great weapon'. Constas equaled Ricky Ponting's feat by scoring two centuries in the first match of New South Wales' Sheffield Shield 2024-25 campaign and has been named in Australia's squad for the two-match series against India 'A' starting on October 31. Has been selected in the 'A' team.
Australia is looking for a new opening batsman in Test matches, hence Lee feels that Constas can be a good option for the team. “I feel proud not just because he wears the blue cap, but because he has made a great start to his first-class career,” Lee said. It has only taken him two Sheffield Shield matches to score two consecutive centuries, but I have kept a close eye on him over the years. “He has done really well with Under 19 cricket and has made his way into the Sheffield Shield team under some good guidance.”
