Young batsman Sam Konstas, who made a smoky debut in the Melbourne Test against India, is still in the news after the series.
On 19-year-old Sam Konstas, who played a key role in the series win, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting believes the batsman still has a lot to do if he is to cement his place as a Test opener.
The legendary cricketer said that if the young batsmen continue to play like this, he does not think that he will be able to last long as a Test opening batsman.
Ricky Ponting said it’s a big stage and the batsman had a great time at the MCG. But he has seen it happen to many young players. They come and they get a few matches or series to find out what kind of player they are and what it takes to be a successful international player.
