The 19-year-old NSW opening has been the talk of the year thus far and will have for Australia A the following year.
Shane Watson, Sam Konstas ' leader, says the situation has created the "perfect wind" for the teen prodigy to make his Examine comeback against India.
As the candidates slim down their choices, Konstas announced himself as a Test dreadnought earlier this month, with the debut of his own, Mark Harris, who has two Sheffield Shield ages, for NSW.
With just six first-class games to his title, 19-year-old Konstas has also been viewed as a courageous choice to mate Usman Khawaja at the top while momentum is building behind the unlimited Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis is an out-of-the-box choice.
Watson argued that the only thing that candidates should consider is whether Konstas may replace him as a player for proof that special talents need first-class Test cricket opportunities. At age 21, injured all-rounder Cameron Green made his Test album for Western Australia on their final trip to Australia after being selected as a prodigy for the team's Sheffield Shield.
There is no player under the age of 30 who both played in Australia's most recent Test match in March and is fit for the summer, according to Watson, who feels the present using group's time adds to the need for young blood.
According to Watson," The entire situation is a perfect storm to give him the opportunity to play Examine cricket." " For me, this is an appropriate moment, knowing that the batsmen are aging, there's Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja as a starting point who are aging.
They still have some excellent cricket in front of them, they say. However, the one thing that American cricket consistently excelled at was allowing a different player to enter the American set-up as soon as they could, within purpose, to assist them in learning.
Recent captain Pat Cummins notably became the second-youngest American debut in Test record when the then-18-year-old earned a second wide green on the 2011 tour of South Africa, while Konstas ' batting predecessors Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh were both given the nod at 20.
Watson himself can confirm for the benefits of earning global experience earlier, having first played ODI cricket as a 20-year-old.
" There's no question that my one-day cricket would never have evolved to the levels that it did without me being around the Aussie team]at a younger age]," said Watson, who went on to perform in Australia's 2007 and 2015 World Cup achievements.
Watson has been working with Konstas for the best piece of four decades, having initially come across him as a pupil at Cranbrook- the Sydney class attended by Watson's child.
He named Konstas ' single-minded devotion to his art as his most impressive feature.
" From the first time that I met Sam, the thing that jumped out at me the most was his eager desire to be the best that he probably had remain," Watson said". The first time I had a net conference with him as a 16-year-old, he hits the ball different, the picture possibilities that he has accessible to him and his army.
" But it absolutely does n't surprise me to see what he's able to do given how diligently he has been working on his mental game as well," he continued.
The emotional aspect of cricket has been of particular attention to Watson towards the end of his career and into pensions, with his book The Winner's Mindset late adapted into an online skills training through SafetyCulture.
