Travis Head is captaining the Australian team in the second T20 match against England.
In the last one year, if there is one player who has been discussed the most in international cricket, then it is the Australian team’s opening batsman Travis Head, who has created fear in the bowlers of all teams with his explosive style of playing. Travis Head’s form in T20 cricket has been seen at a different level this year and that is why he is counted among the most dangerous batsmen of the present time. In the first match of the ongoing three-match T20 series against England, an aggressive half-century innings was seen from Head’s bat. At the same time, in the second match of the series being played at the Cardiff ground, Travis Head is also handling the responsibility of captaining the Australian team for the first time.
Head took over the captaincy when Mitchell Marsh fell ill
Just before the second T20 match against England, Australian T20 team captain Mitchell Marsh could not be a part of the playing 11 due to illness, in such a situation Travis Head is handling the responsibility of captaining the team. Jack Fraser McGurk has also returned to the playing 11. Although Head could not play a big innings as a captain, he could definitely give a fast start to the team along with Matthew Short. Head’s bat was seen in the second T20 match with an innings of 31 runs in 14 balls in which he also hit four fours and 2 sixes. A partnership of 52 runs was seen for the first wicket between Head and Short.
The Australian team has made three changes for this match in which Aaron Hardy and Cooper Connolly have been included in the team in place of Hazelwood and Bartlett. England has also made one change in its playing 11 and has included Brydon Carse in the team in place of Jofra Archer.
