Batting phenom Sam Konstas has been tipped to thrive for many years to come on the international stage after the teenager was forced to deal with a “disgraceful act” from the touring Indian players during just his second Test match at the SCG last week that “should have been punished”.

Life moves pretty fast for the Australian Men’s Test team, which means that despite completing their 3-1 Test series win over India just days ago, eyes will turn — if they haven’t already — very quickly to their upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.

South Africa is already prepping for the World Test Championship final showdown with Australia, with pace star Kagiso Rabada adamant the Proteas “know how to beat” the reigning champs.

Sam Konstas is set for a $225,000 pay rise if he takes the field for the first Test in Sri Lanka later this month.

Australia will have its hiccups as it handles a transition period in the world-beating team, but there is confidence in the talent that has been introduced this summer.

Former Australian fast bowler Stuart Clark has revealed that Sam Konstas did not quite know what he was doing during his whirlwind entrance to the Test arena in Melbourne and Sydney.

South Africa eased to a 10-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second Test on Monday in Cape Town to secure a 2-0 series win despite second-innings resistance from the tourists.

Travis Head has had the last laugh as he delivered a not-so-subtle swipe at Indian fans in the midst of Australia’s Border-Gavaskar series victory celebrations.

Cricket’s powerbrokers are reportedly considering the introduction of a two-tier structure for Test cricket to ensure Australia, England and India play each other more often.

It was the partnership at the death of the Boxing Day Test that bowed Jasprit Bumrah and ultimately proved decisive in Australia reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a gripping series against India.

Alyssa Healy’s Australian side are now less than a week away from continuing their jam-packed summer of cricket, as England seek to break their decade-long Ashes drought on foreign soil.

Former Australian player Dan Christian will come out of retirement on Monday night to answer an SOS call from the Sydney Thunder.

A “star culture” within the Indian team coupled with selectors who were unwilling to move on senior players caused India to surrender the Border Gavaskar Trophy, according to former greats and the Indian media.
