19 year old player got a chance
19 year old Sam Kontas has got a chance. He was made a part of the squad for the last two test matches. Finally he got his chance through the Boxing Day Test match. However, the Australian head coach had confirmed that Sam would get a chance in the fourth Test match. Apart from him, Scott Boland has also got a chance, who performed brilliantly in the second match played in Adelaide. He had dismissed Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Boland also troubled the Indian batsmen a lot in this match. Boland's performance against India is also excellent. He has got a chance to replace Josh Hazlewood, who was ruled out of the fourth Test match due to injury.
Travis Head also included
It was believed that Travis Head might be out of the fourth test match. Doubts remained over his playing. But he has got a chance in the Australian playing eleven. Head has performed brilliantly against India so far. He played an inning of 89 runs in the second innings of the first test match, while in the second match he scored 140 runs. Apart from this, he had scored 152 runs in the third match also. Head is in great form. He is ready to score runs in Melbourne also.
