Australia’s top batter Travis Head will be missing the last two matches of the ongoing T20I series against India in order to focus on Ashes Preparation. Head is all set to now face Tasmania in Hobart next week and marking his first FC outing since touring the West Indies in July.

The batter did not leave much impact in white-ball cricket recently as his top score was 31 across 8 innings in T20Is and ODIs. Head is now expected to play a pivotal role in Australia’s Test squad where he will be batting a No.5. According to ESPNCricinfo, the decision to feature in the four-day Shield game was left on Head’s discretion.
