CHANCE: TEENAGE OPENER IN SIZZLING DOMESTIC FORM
Konstas drawn into Aussie mix

Opener Nathan McSweeney was dropped from Australia's squad for the fourth Test against India yesterday, with teenager Sam Konstas getting his first call-up.

Fast bowler Jhye Richardson was also included in the 15-man line-up to give the team more options with Josh Hazlewood sidelined by a right calf injury.

The two sides are locked at 1-1 in the five-Test series with India needing one more win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

McSweeney had played in all three Tests so far after winning the race to replace the retired David Warner at the top of the order alongside Usman Khawaja.
