Australia’s star batter Travis Head, who has smashed two back-to-back centuries in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, has missed the team’s practice sessions before the Boxing-Day Test. The 30-year-old batter was seen being a bit clumsy during his last outing against India, however, he just called it to be ‘sore’ and will be raring to come on December 26.
According to Sydney Morning Herald, the batter is going to prove his fitness on Tuesday December 24, which is two days before the important Boxing-Day Test.
However, the same Sydney Morning Herald report also stated about Head not coming to train on Monday. The report cited the team spokesperson who said that the practice session was “optional.”
Travis Head is currently in his peak form in the ongoing five-match Test series. He has scored 409 runs at an average of 81.2. He scored a century in the pink-ball Test, scoring 140 runs that helped Australia register a 10-wicket win in Adelaide.
He then came out and scored another century at the Gabba stadium, as he scored 152 runs. He had previously scored 89 runs in the second innings of the Perth Test where Australia had lost by 295 runs.
The five-match Test series is currently levelled 1-1 as the third Test match ended in a draw. Both teams will now focus to win the fourth Tests in order to qualify for the World test Championship (WTC) finals, set to take place in England in 2025.
