Sam Konstas, who made his debut for the Australia National Cricket Team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, didn't get an opportunity to play in the first Test against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team. This was because the team promoted Travis Head at the top of the order to make use of the new hard ball.
Konstas himself confirmed that he is traveling back home and will be available for the New South Wales vs Queensland game. He talked about the learnings that he took from the likes of Travis Head, Steve Smith, and Usman Khawaja and talked about playing in Asian conditions.
It’s been a huge honour being in the squad and learning from the likes of Travis Head, Steve Smith, and Usman Khawaja - Sam Konstas
“That’s the plan. Hopefully, I can be back for the first game (NSW vs Queensland on Saturday). It’s been a huge honour being in the squad and learning from the likes of Travis Head, Steve Smith, and Usman Khawaja and the way they go about it. And obviously having experience in the Asian continent in Dubai.
So for me it was trying to get exposure to Dubai, Sri Lanka, try to learn - Sam Konstas
Sam Konstas also talked about Travis Head opening the innings in the first Test, saying that he understood the decision and that touring Sri Lanka was a great opportunity for him to get exposure to Asian conditions. He added:
Sam Konstas now will be seen in action for Australia during the ICC World Test Championship final. He will be opening the innings for the team as was confirmed by Travis Head in the press conference.
