Australia’s 19 -year -old Pick Sam Constas has converted his campaign into a nightmare to open the innings in the West Indies tour, in which the youth set an unwanted record. His devastating form makes him the Australian opener with the lowest batting average in Caribbean since 1984.The Maneus was brought to open in place of Labschen, with Constas to his test career with a promise, scoring a half -century on debut against India in MCG. But his number against the West Indies has been very poor. In six innings, he has scored only 50 runs at an average of 8.33, finishing with a five -ball duck in his final outing as Shamar Joseph rejected him.Australia, despite being above 2–0 in the three-match series and the ongoing day-night testing in Sabina Park, are due to concern, to maintain the upper hand. The Constas’s struggle against the moving balls and speed-friendly circumstances has left a big question mark on the initial slot ahead of the Ashes later this year.

Should Sam Contas be replaced as an opener for the remaining test matches?

Contas has now joined an unfortunate list of only Alec Bannmann, Rick Darling, Wayne Philips, and Keith Stackpol, who scored low runs as an opener in a series in more than 50 series. The call has not been paid by the call to pay the Lebschen with them, and the team is now under pressure to give up the top-order combination.However, things are not all bad for the teenager. Despite his struggles with the bat, Constas impressed in the field, showing a sharp reflex to Justin Greaves to dismiss Greaves through a run-out on day 2. The Australians rejected Greaves by throwing them close to them as they tried a triple.
