Sam Konstas, the 19-year-old batting sensation, recently shared his heartfelt reaction after receiving news of his inclusion in Australia’s Test squad. The young cricketer, who is set to make his debut in the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), described the moment as emotional and overwhelming.

Speaking about the special day, Konstas recalled that his mother was in tears when she heard the news. “I remember my mum crying, and I was trying my best not to cry,” he said, smiling while reliving the moment. For the young player, the call-up wasn’t just a career milestone—it was a dream come true for both him and his family.

Konstas’s inclusion in the Australian squad is a reward for his incredible performances in domestic cricket. The teenager has had a stellar season, becoming the youngest player since Ricky Ponting to score twin centuries in a Sheffield Shield match. His consistency with the bat and calmness under pressure have made him one of the most talked-about young talents in Australian cricket.

He has also impressed in white-ball cricket. Earlier this month, Konstas played a stunning knock of 107 runs against a second-string Indian team and followed it up with an 88 against Western Australia. These performances, combined with his fearless batting approach, earned him a place in the squad as a replacement for Nathan McSweeney.

As the Boxing Day Test approaches, Konstas is preparing for the challenge of facing India’s formidable bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah. Despite the pressure, the young batter is determined to make the most of this opportunity and live up to the expectations placed upon him.
