Sydney Thunder general manager Trent Copeland has backed young batter Sam Konstas to become an 'all-format' player for Australia, following his impressive performances in domestic cricket. Copeland praised Konstas's technique and temperament, noting his potential to excel across Test, ODI, and T20 formats.
Konstas, who made his Sheffield Shield debut for New South Wales in 2024, has been a standout in the Big Bash League for the Thunder. His aggressive batting style and ability to adapt to different conditions have drawn comparisons to Australian greats.
Copeland emphasized that Konstas's work ethic and hunger for runs set him apart. 'He has the game to succeed at the highest level, and we're excited to see his development,' Copeland said in a recent interview.
