I Actually Wasn't That Surprised: Ricky Ponting On Travis Head's Exclusion For Nagpur Test

By IANS News February 10, 2023 • 21:42 PM View: 697

Australia batting great Ricky Ponting revealed he wasnt surprised by the shocking omission of left-handed batter Travis Head for the ongoing first Test against India at VCA Stadium, Nagpur. He added that veteran opener David Warner needs runs too, otherwise he would end up with the same fate as Head.

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 former players baffled, not Ponting though.
