SL vs AUS Live Update: Travis Head, a batter for Australia, has said that it is doubtful that he will be included in Australia’s playing XI for the next one-day international series against Sri Lanka. After the conclusion of the three Twenty20 Internationals, the Men in Yellow will play Sri Lanka in a five-match One-Day International series that is scheduled to begin on June 14.
It is important to highlight the fact that the brilliant left-handed batter, Head, has been included in both the ODI squad and the Australia A team that will be travelling to Sri Lanka to compete in a variety of one-day and first-class matches. Head has high expectations that he will be allowed to compete for a spot on the national squad and demonstrate his worth.
Since Warner and Finch have taken their places at the top of the hierarchy, it is going to be challenging for me: Travis Head
“What this implies is that it’s quite likely that I won’t start (in the ODI series). I’m realistic in the sense that Davey (Warner) and Finchy are back together at the top of the order. Then you’ve got a middle-order that is so established in that side that it’s a difficult one to get into,” cricket.com.au included a quotation from Head in their article.
He continued by saying, “I think the plan is to see the lay of the land for the first couple of ODIs. If the opportunity isn’t quite there and a spot doesn’t open up, then there’s a chance for me to play in the second Australia A (four-day) game and turn my focus to the Test series.”
SL vs AUS Live Update: Travis Head feels himself to be unfortunate
Even though he had lately performed well against Pakistan and on the domestic circuit, the left-handed batsman voiced his anger and regarded himself as “unfortunate”. Head has participated in a total of 45 one-day internationals. He has amassed a total of 1,463 runs in the 50-over version of the game.
“I’m probably the unfortunate one at the moment who’s just out of that ODI starting XI. But it’s great to be back in the squad. I hope I’ve been able to force the selectors’ hand a bit over the last 18 months or so with the domestic format and then in Pakistan,” Head added.
