Travis Head Shapes Up As Solution For Australia's Opening Woes

By AFP News November 23, 2025 • 08:58 AM View: 563

Travis Head may have batted himself into a permanent role as Australian opener after his swashbuckling 123 against England, casting doubt on the future of an ageing Usman Khawaja.

The 38-year-old Khawaja failed to open in either innings in Perth because of back spasms, paving the way for Head to seize the opportunity with all guns blazing.
