19-year-old Sam Contas came into the limelight for the first time when he made a fifty debut in the boxing day test of the previous Border-Gavaskar Trophy. During this time he scored a lot of runs from Jasprit Bumrah’s balls, which included many unique shots. After this, he was also in the discussion due to the debate with Virat Kohli and then Bumrah.
Australia chief selector George Bailey announced two teams for the tour of India. One team will play a four -day match and another ODI series will play. For the four -day series, 4 players including Sam Contas have been selected who have played Test matches. These include Cooper Conlie, Tod Murphy and Nathan McSwini. George Bailey announced the team saying that the Indian subcontinent presents tough challenges. The players have to keep pace with circumstances in both bowling and batting here. This helps any player to become better. Hopefully, these players will be able to gain experience for future tours.
