T20 World Cup: Australia are through to the T20 World Cup semi finals after defeating India by nine runs, while India face a nervous wait to progress
Aussies book World Cup semi final | 02:25 Australia ’s newest batting prodigy is about to be put on the path to the Test team with 19-year-old New South Wales opener Sam Konstas set to be named in the Australia A squad for the upcoming series against India A.
The right-hander also has the opportunity to showcase his talents in the spotlight with NSW to take on Victoria in a blockbuster Shield clash at the MCG starting on Sunday where the Test incumbents Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon and Steve Smith are all expected the stay. The calls for him to be awarded a baggy green are growing louder off the back of his demolition of South Australia and the reports of Cameron Green’s back injury opening up a spot in Australia’s top order.
He will face stiff competition in the Australia A bat-off however, with two other players who started the Shield season with centuries also set to be included and they provide selectors George Bailey, Andrew McDonald and Tony Dodemaide with different configuration options.
