Andrew McDonald on India’s ‘intimidation’ of Konstas: Checked in with Sam to make sure he was okay

The Hindu  

Australia coach Andrew McDonald expressed concern for Sam Konstas after his latest confrontation with India, suggesting that the International Cricket Council has effectively allowed the visitor’s “intimidation” tactics against the young opener. No Code of Conduct charges are believed to have been filed by the ICC after India captain Jasprit Bumrah confronted Konstas at the non-striker’s end following Usman Khawaja’s dismissal on the final ball of day one in the ongoing Sydney Test. India’s celebration was clearly intimidating, and we have a duty of care to ensure our players are in the right mindset to perform.” He added, “While everything was within the Laws of the Game and no charges were laid, having the opposition swarm a non-striker like that raises questions. We just wanted to ensure Sam was in a good headspace for the next day.” “It’s clear that it’s acceptable because there were no fines or punishments,” McDonald further said.
