Australia will open the innings with a new opening pair of Usman Khawaja and Sam Konstas in the first Test against the West Indies. Both batters also opened the innings for the Kangaroos in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Sam Konstas will be partnered by Usman Khawaja, who has been able to retain his place in the squad after a disappointing performance in the last few matches.
The duo would hope to give the team a solid start to lay a platform for the incoming batters.
Konstas, in particular, will look to play his natural aggressive game like he did during the series against India.
The pair of Head and Webster will have to do the bulk of the scoring and stabilize the middle order.
The Aussies would also wish for their two experienced fast bowlers, captain Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, to make a significant contribution with the bat, like they have done on several occasions in the past.
The onus will also be on someone like Beau Webster, who is expected to play a vital role in the Caribbean.
If the Pat Cummins-led side decides to go in with two spinners, then either Starc or Hazlewood will have to sit out.
