Australia have got a wealth of riches at their disposal as they try and squeeze all their in-form players into their XI for the one-off Test against the Proteas in London.

Australia batter Travis Head is expecting teenage opener Sam Konstas to return to the Test fold at this year's ICC World Test Championship Final against South Africa.

Konstas burst onto the scene with a flamboyant half-century when making his Test debut against India at the MCG on Boxing Day and showed glimpses of his best form in Sydney last month when the Aussies clinched the Border Gavaskar series and booked their place at this year's World Test Championship Final against the Proteas in June.

While Konstas has been on the outer for Australia's ongoing Test series in Sri Lanka as Head has been preferred as Usman Khawaja's opening partner, Head thinks the 19-year-old is likely to return to the top of the order for the one-off Test at Lords's as the Aussies look to find the right balance to their batting line-up.

"Most likely I'd go back in the middle order and Sam would open," Head predicted.

"But I'm glad I'm not a selector. Josh (Inglis) has had an amazing start, the guys are playing well, (Cameron Green) Greeny's going to be fit. So it's going to be hard to fit (them all) in. I think that's what we want. We want an Australian cricket team that's tough to get in.

"I think that's all we've ever known is players that are unlucky and players that are in the team and expecting good performances. And that's where the pressure comes (from), it's trying to hold your spot every Test, knowing that there's people behind you. We're in a strong position. It's better having seven or eight batters talked about than three or four."

Head has been impressed by Konstas since the right-hander entered the Australian set-up and believes the attacking opener has a long future ahead in the game.

"For someone to come in and take the game (on) the way he did in Melbourne, the confidence he's got, it's a good thing to have a young kid around that's a bit naive and just plays the game the right way," Head said.

"He's got a huge future for Australia. It'll just be how he, over the years, deals with adversity. At this stage, he looks like he deals with it really well."
