MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Dropped Australia opener Sam Konstas will face England in a two-day tour match between the first and second Ashes tests as part of the Prime Minister's XI squad.

Konstas's selection for the day-night match in Canberra from November 29 keeps the 20-year-old in the Ashes frame in case injury strikes Australia's top order batting.
