Sam Konstas keeps scoring as Test selectors keep searching for top-order answers

Key points

• Sam Konstas has made a strong case for a return to the Australian Test side after two domestic centuries in a week. The 21-year-old scored 149 off 131 balls for NSW against Western Australia in the One-Day Cup at the WACA on Saturday.
• Days earlier he made 151 not out in a Sheffield Shield draw with Western Australia. His Test record is modest, with a 16.30 average from five matches, and his highest Test score remains 60, made on debut against India in 2024.
• NSW next play Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield in Hobart from Friday.
