Travis Head refused to become a Test opener, Head became Player of the Month

Travis Head believes that opening in Test cricket is a difficult task. Because he has refused to accept David Warner’s opening slot in the Test. Head, who led Australia to ODI World Cup victory with his brilliant batting at the top of the order, offers a potentially interesting option to replace Warner, who is set to retire after the upcoming Test series against Pakistan.

Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald had recently indicated that the opening batsman cannot be used directly in place of Warner. Head replaced the injured Warner in India earlier this year, where he bounced back with the new ball to bowl at an average of 55.75 in five innings.

Travis Head told reporters in Perth ahead of the first Test against Pakistan starting on Thursday.

“The selectors are happy with me in the middle order.” “I think [opening] it’s an expert’s job. Those who have been waiting to get into the team for some time deserve their first crack at it. But talks are on with everyone… The only thing for me is to [open up in] the subcontinent. “I don’t see myself traveling a lot in the future.”

Travis Head overtook Shami and Maxwell
