Hard To Believe We Can Drop The No.4 Ranked Test Batsman In The World: Steve Waugh On Travis Head's Exclusion

By IANS News February 09, 2023 • 13:43 PM View: 675

Former Australia captain Steve Waugh was left surprised over left-handed batter Travis Head being excluded from the side's playing eleven for the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India at Nagpur.

Head, 29, is currently sitting at number four in the ICC Test batting rankings, and made 525 runs at an average of 87.5 against the West Indies and South Africa in the home summer. But for the Nagpur Test, right-handed batter Peter Handscomb came in for Head, leaving many baffled, including Waugh.
