Fellow opener Nathan McSweeney also made it to the squad in a bid to fight for a place in the Ashes squad.

The two red-ball matches between India A and Australia A will be played from 16-19 September and 23-26 September in Lucknow. During the tour, the Aussies will also feature in three one-dayers in Kanpur.

Konstas' poor form with the bat continued in the recently concluded West Indies series, where the youngster wasn't able to cross the score of 30 after a successful debut against India.

Australia chair of selectors George Bailey feels he is dealing with the situation well and hopes the Australia A series will help him regain his touch.

Awaiting the grand finale

It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
