Speaking to SEN Tassie, Team Paine said, ‘I can’t believe we’re even talking about this. It’s just a statistic, especially as a batsman at this age. He is one of the best opening batsmen in the world and has performed brilliantly in the last two years. His eyes are still the same and the veteran players are also batting explosively. Tim Paine presented his side regarding young player Sam Konstas Regarding young player Sam Konstas, the former Australian captain said, ‘If it is a matter of short term, then we have got our answer. Of the four players playing right now, I think Sam Konstas is the best. This young player has batted brilliantly in the unofficial Test series against India A and some of his shots have been really tremendous. In the times to come, he can be counted among the best players. When Usman Khawaja retires from international cricket, Sam Konstas could well replace him.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will start in November Usman Khawaja. (Image Source: Getty Images) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). It is worth noting that in November this year, India will tour Australia for a five-match Test series. While the batting order of the Indian team seems to be very clear during this series, the same is not the case in the Australian camp. Let us tell you that the Australian management is still thinking about which player should open the innings. Because Steve Smith’s statistics while opening have not been very good. After David Warner retired in January this year, Smith has played four Test matches at this position, in which he has been able to score a total of 171 runs at a meagre average of 28.50. On the other hand, Smith’s average while batting at number 4 in Tests is 61. So now during BGT, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has named the player who can open with him. Khawaja has suggested the name of Travis Head. Usman Khawaja gave a big statement In a recent interview with Fox Sports, Khawaja said, “He (Smith) will probably never say this. So I will say this for him. Opening is a very important position, but I still think we have the best Test player of my era, Steve Smith, in the team, and his best position has been number four.” Khawaja further said- I think that is the best batting position for him. He brings balance to our team. Marnus Labuschagne at number three and Smudge (Steve Smith) at number four. It is best for the team that whoever scores more runs at which position, he should be played at that position.
