Hindustan Times  

Nathan McSweeney has been dropped from the Australian squad for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and has been replaced by 19-year-old opener Sam Konstas. So I think the young, more aggressive player will play for sure.” Michael Hussey poses ‘Jasprit Bumrah’ question Meanwhile, Michael Hussey felt that it was unfair on McSweeney as he had to face the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, and the other Aussie batters also didn’t perform. “So I think it’s a tough call, but, you know, they’re obviously pretty strong about going hard to try and win these last two Tests,” he added. “I think they’ve picked the team on winning these last two Test matches,” he said. “I mean, you couldn’t really drop one of the more experienced players, so it’s probably Nathan McSweeney just through process of elimination, actually,” he added.
