Travis Head won’t fly to India unless medical checks this week show his hand is healing fast enough for the World Cup’s back end.
Australia will only start to plan for Travis Head’s arrival in India after an update this weekto be considered for a place in Australia’s XI for the second half of the World Cup.
As it stands, Stoinis could only be considered as a non-bowling batter for the opening game, a dicey proposition given his decidedly ordinary returns for Australia in recent ODI matches for which he averages about 18. “I think of Quinton de Kock, Jonny Bairstow, Rohit Sharma or Jos Buttler. When they’re having a day out, they’re so hard to stop and at times they can take the game away from you. So I think Trav will be a big out in that regard, particularly in the powerplay.”At the same time, none of Head, the selectors or medical staff want to put the left-hander in a position where he risks longer-term problems with his wrist as a result of rushing back.
