Men's ODI WC: 'Travis Head Just Makes Us Better Team', Tim Paine's Selection Call Ahead Of NZ Clash
Cricket World Cup: Former captain Tim Paine believes that Travis Head is the ideal candidate to step in for Marnus Labuschagne in Australia's upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand.
Head is set to make a comeback from a hand injury for the game scheduled for this Saturday, creating a dilemma in the top-order selection. Steven Smith has indicated that he would maintain his position in such a situation, and Tim Paine concurs that Labuschagne is the appropriate player to be excluded.
"I think he makes us a better team, so you play him. I hoped he was going to play last game against the Dutch… rather than come straight in against the Kiwis who have been playing some good cricket," Paine told SEN Mornings of Head.
