Head Predicts Konstas Recall As An Opener In WTC Final, Says 'most Likely I’ll Go Back To Middle-order'
The Sydney Morning Herald: Australia batter Travis Head has indicated a return to the middle-order for the World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Lord’s, with the expectation that youngster Sam Konstas will reclaim his opening spot alongside veteran Usman Khawaja for the crucial clash against South Africa.
Head justifies Australia's bold decision to drop Sam Konstas for first Sri Lanka Test by smashing a half-century off just 35 balls as an opener, helping Australia secure a commanding victory over the hosts.
Head's promotion to the opener, along with the omission of Sam Konstas and the inclusion of debutant Josh Inglis, has sparked considerable debate in Australia. Despite all the talks, the vice-captain Head expressed confidence that the 19-year-old Konstas could play against South Africa at Lord’s in June.
