McSweeney, who was handed the debut at the beginning of the series appears to take more time in making an impact. According to The Sunday Morning Herald, McSweeney who has been underperforming in this BGT edition and has managed to cross the 10 runs mark in just one innings of six, Australian side thinks that it will require more time for the 25 year old to make an impact and another proactive approach has to be taken to dictate the dynamics against Bumrah in the upcoming match. The name that sparks in the selectors’ head is Sam Konstas. He is the youngest player to score a half century in Australia’s League, The Big Bash League. Also Josh Inglis, the spare batter for the Australian side is also udner consideration who has faced Bumrah in white-ball matches and has a strong record as a counterattacking batter.
