Cricket: Fox Cricket's Michael Vaughn joined Fox Sports News to discuss the possibility of young gun Sam Konstas opening for the Aussies in the upcoming Test series against the West Indies.
Sean Abbott is fully aware of his position in Australia’s pace bowling pecking order, but the New South Welshman has earmarked the chaotic 2026/27 schedule as a potential window for his long-awaited Test debut.Despite missing plenty of Sheffield Shield cricket over the last four years due to white-ball commitments, Abbott has continued to impress at first-class level with 104 wickets at 24.72 during that period.
However, with the star quartet of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Scott Boland also in the squad, Abbott acknowledges he may be tasked with carrying drinks over the coming weeks. “Obviously I’d say it’s probably going to be more an opportunity through injury or trying to rest a few guys.”Pending conditions, Australia might consider unleashing two strike spinners for the series opener in Bridgetown, which gets underway on Wednesday.
