Ricky Ponting backs Sam Konstas as Australian opener in Ashes
Former Test captain Ricky Ponting has predicted that Australia won’t make any changes to its top order ahead of next summer’s Ashes series, calling for the national selectors to “stick with” struggling opener Sam Konstas.
The teenager earned a recall for the recent Frank Worrell Trophy campaign against the West Indies but contributed 50 runs at 8.33 across the three Tests.
