Teen cricket sensation Sam Konstas is gearing up for a much-anticipated return to the Australian squad for the upcoming test against the West Indies in Bridgetown. The 19-year-old has been called up to replace Marnus Labuschagne as Australia looks to capitalize on his explosive debut performance last December.

Speaking to Australian media, Konstas reflected on his dynamic introduction to test cricket and the excitement that caught him off guard in the Boxing Day test against India. He expressed his readiness to adopt a more traditional playing style while remaining true to his instincts and preparing strategically for the challenge ahead.

Konstas, who had been benched during the Sri Lanka tour, is eager to seize this new opportunity and showcase his development. With Josh Inglis also back due to Steve Smith's injury, Konstas' return is seen as a promising move to strengthen the batting lineup, giving the team a fresh edge against their Caribbean opponents.
