Travis Head Says New-Look Australia Can Cope Without Smith, Labuschagne

By AFP News June 23, 2025 • 13:48 PM View: 756

Travis Head said Monday Australia were experienced enough to cope as they prepare for their first Test without Steve Smith or Marnus Labuschagne since 2018.

An out-of-form Labuschagne has been dropped for the opening Test against the West Indies in Barbados this week, while fellow batting stalwart Smith is nursing an injured finger.
