BGT: I Was Very Impressed The First Time I Saw Konstas Bat, Says Hussey
McSweeney’s omission follows a string of underwhelming performances since his debut last month, where he failed to surpass 10 runs in five out of six innings. While the 25-year-old showed promise, his inability to adapt to the challenges of opening at the Test level, particularly against the moving ball, proved costly.
Head selector George Bailey admitted it was a "really hard decision" to drop McSweeney, especially since he was placed in an unfamiliar position as an opener despite not specializing in that role at the domestic level.
