Warner, O’Keeffe Back Konstas, McSweeney For Australia Test Recall
Australia Test: With some of Australian batters' troubles continuing in the first Test match against Bangladesh, former Aussie cricketers chalked up their long-term contenders to solve the batting jigsaw, putting their weight behind the return of the likes of Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney and Matt Renshaw in the Test side. Australia's 20 Test odyssey till next year is off to an underwhelming start after their batters failed to find the mojo, with the struggles continuing for Jake Weatherald, Cameron Green and Marnus Labuschagne.
Weatherald's five-match Test career has been off to a shaky start with just one fifty, and the troubles were compounded for him when he was dismissed for a duck and 23 in the two innings of the first Test against Bangladesh. Labuschagne's wait for a Test century continued since he last got to a three-figure mark during the 2023 Ashes, and Green has not set the stage alight since his unbeaten 174 in Wellington in February 2024.
Taking note of the Aussie batting performance and providing long-term contenders, former cricketers David Warner, Kerry O’Keeffe and Brendon Julian have called for the return of the likes of Konstas, McSweeney and Renshaw, while also picking Victorian duo Campbell Kellaway and Ollie Peake as ones to keep a tab on for the future. Warner insisted that Konstas' debut against India was an impressive one, while Julian believed the Border-Gavaskar series outing at SCG should have got him a ticket for the series in Sri Lanka last year in February.
