Konstas v Labuschagne in head-to-head battle Much of the pre-series chat in Australia surrounds the top of the hosts’ batting order and whether young gun Sam Konstas will retain his place in the XI despite an inconsistent start to his international career.

Healy injury a test for Australia’s depth: Nitschke Georgia Voll’s track record as Australia’s on-call opener and unflappable attitude will stand her in good stead for Wednesday’s ODI World Cup blockbuster against England, coach Shelley Nitschke says. While a coy Nitschke stopped short of confirming Voll would definitely replace the injured Alyssa Healy at the top of the order for the game in Indore when speaking to reporters on Tuesday, the 22-year-old Queenslander is the logical choice to come in, having performed the role on five previous occasions across the last 10 months in ODIs.Healy will miss at least the…
