With the ICC World Test Championship final spot against South Africa already sealed, Australia would be heading to Sri Lanka in the most relaxed state of mind possible, with the first Test of two starting at Galle from January 29 onwards.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting doesn't think the young prodigy can survive as an opening batter in the Test format if he continues to bat like he did at MCG.
With the Border-Gavaskar Series evenly poised at 1-1 heading into the final two Tests, Australia made changes to their squad with Konstas being called up in place of Nathan McSweeney.
Konstas became the third youngest player to hit Shield Cricket twin tons in the same match during his side New South Wales' match against South Australia.
