Veteran middle-order batter Usman Khawaja looks assured to replace Travis Head in Australia's playing XI for the fourth Ashes Test at the SCG after the latter was ruled out because of COVID-19 infection, even as Cricket Australia (CA) heaved a sigh of relief as no more COVID-19 cases were reported in the side.

Head had tested positive for COVID-19 on December 31, 2021 and was ruled out of the fourth Test beginning on January 5. Australia have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-Test series, with their latest win coming in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
