Travis Head Joins Adelaide Strikers Amid Busy International Cricket Schedule
Travis Head, a prominent Australian cricketer, has signed a one-year contract with the Adelaide Strikers for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season. Despite his busy international commitments, Head is excited to rejoin the team he once captained in the 2017-18 season. However, due to Australia’s packed schedule, including the Border Gavaskar Trophy against India, a Test tour in Sri Lanka, and the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan, Head’s participation in the BBL might be limited to just three matches on January 11, 15, and 18.
Head expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the Strikers, stating, “I’m thrilled to sign for another year with the Strikers and can’t wait to get back amongst the group under our new coach, Tim Paine. I love pulling on the blue every chance I get and look forward to helping the boys go one step further after their fantastic late-season run to the finals last summer.”
Tim Paine, the head coach of the Strikers, acknowledged the challenges posed by Head’s international schedule but is eager to have him back. Paine praised Head’s recent performances, including a remarkable 154 not out against England in an ODI. “We understand Trav has a hectic international schedule, but we also know how much he loves getting back in the blue whenever the chance arises, and we look forward to our fans being treated to more of his magic this summer,” Paine added.
