I feel going to the West Indies, Australia have gotten to convey Sam Konstas again in: Mark Taylor

Mark Taylor urged the Australian crew administration to have Sam Konstas open the batting within the impending tour of the West Indies. The 19-year-old, who confirmed lots of promise throughout his maiden Check collection, which was in opposition to India, needed to watch Australia go right down to South Africa within the World Check Championship (WTC) ultimate from the sidelines this week. The Dishevelled Greens determined to open with Marnus Labuschagne and have Cameron Inexperienced bat at No. 3.

Taylor opined that Australia have not discovered a substitute for David Warner, who retired from Check cricket in January 2024. With Steve Smith dislocating his little finger through the WTC ultimate, a return for Konstas appears on the playing cards.

“David Warner retired almost two years in the past now and we’ve not actually discovered a substitute for him. Though, they actually have not tried that tough both, to be completely trustworthy with you. Travis Head moved up the order (in Sri Lanka), Konstas was not noted having debuted at Melbourne with that swashbuckling 60 that he made,” mentioned Taylor on 9’s Large World of Sports activities present on Sunday.

“I feel going to the West Indies, we have got to convey Konstas again in and I feel he’ll play in a extra orthodox trend. He needs to be given a chance and the truth that Steve Smith will not play in that collection makes it slightly bit simpler for the selectors,” he added.

Labuschagne didn’t make a mark within the WTC ultimate, registering scores of 17 and 22. Inexperienced, alternatively, could not get to double figures in both innings on his worldwide comeback following again surgical procedure.
