Australia’s rookie opener Sam Konstas has a plan to combat Indian spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, but he doesn’t want to give too much away three days out from his likely Test debut on Boxing Day.

The 19-year-old was called into the Australian squad as a replacement for Nathan McSweeney, as the Australian selectors look for a more aggressive partner for Usman Khawaja at the top of the order.
