Taylor Urges Australia To Open With Labuschagne Instead Of Konstas In WTC Final
Former Australia Test: Former Australia Test captain Mark Taylor believes Marnus Labuschagne should be asked to open the batting instead of teenage batter Sam Konstas when the side takes the field for the World Test Championship final against South Africa, starting on June 11 at Lord’s.
The chatter over who would be Usman Khawaja’s opening partner for the all-important final at Lord’s is still a matter of toss-up between Labuschagne, who last scored a Test century in 2022 and Konstas, who thrilled with 60 on his Test debut against India but didn’t open in Australia's series against Sri Lanka earlier this year.
“I’m not going Konstas. I’m leaving him out and keeping Marnus but moving him to the top of the order just for that Test. I’m putting Konstas in my XI for the start of the West Indies tour and see how he goes. Hopefully he cements his spot there for the rest of the year.
