Happy If That’s What’s Needed To Win: Head Ready To Open Again In Khawaja’s Absence
The West Australian: Australia's Travis Head said that he’s more than willing to remain at the top of the order after his blistering century in the first Ashes Test. His remarks come as questions linger over Usman Khawaja’s fitness and long-term place in the national side.
Head, Australia’s established No. 5 for much of the past four years, stepped in as opener during the second innings in Perth when Khawaja was sidelined with back spasms. He responded with a superb 123 off 83 balls, driving Australia to a rapid chase of 205 and a 1–0 series lead ahead of Thursday’s Test at the Gabba.
Khawaja, who turns 39 next month, has been named in the 14-man squad and insists he is “confident” of being available. But with only one century and an average of 31.84 over the past two years, his spot is far from assured.
