    Ian Healy Joins Growing Calls For Konstas To Return From Sri Lanka Tour

    By IANS News February 04, 2025 • 11:42 AM View: 724
    Sri Lanka Tour: Australian cricket great Ian Healy has also weighed in, backing the calls for sending Sam Konstas back home from the Sri Lanka tour so that the youngster can play some important Sheffield Shield matches ahead of the World Test Championship later this year.

    Konstas made a splash recently with a stunning debut performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, including a memorable takedown of Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. However, after featuring in the last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the 19-year-old was left out of the starting XI for Australia’s big win in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. Josh Inglis stepped in for Konstas, while Travis Head moved up to open the batting.

    With Australia dominating the hosts in Galle, it's unlikely they'll make any changes for the second Test starting on Thursday. Ian Healy believes Konstas should return home to play for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield, giving him more red-ball experience ahead of the World Test Championship final.
