Travis Head could be batting for Test spot

Justin Langer has closed down any proposal Travis Head will come into his home Test in Adelaide under added strain to keep his spot in Australia's Test side. 


Head was reviewed for the principal Test of the late spring subsequent to being dropped for the last Ashes coordinate, and scored 24 in Australia's just innings of their huge success over Pakistan. 

While on its substance Head was the main player whose spot in the side was addressed before the Test not to perform, he was given little chance to. 

He came in with the score at 4-468 as Australia attempted to up the run-rate, and was out gotten down the legside. 


"I thought he played truly well in the main innings," Langer said. 

"He came in (after) an extraordinary opening association and it's frequently an extremely hard opportunity to arrive in and bat. 

"What was amazing was he was occupied against (Yasir) Shah. 

"We as a whole know he's a generally excellent youthful player so ideally he does well this week. There's no explanation he shouldn't, he's in great scratch." 

Head was descended to No.6 for the Brisbane Test underneath Matthew Wade, subsequent to averaging 27.28 in the Ashes. 

That was well beneath his vocation normal, which still sits at 41.80. 

Australia are required to bring an unaltered XI into the day-night coordinate at the Adelaide Oval, in the wake of naming a 14-man squad for the two Tests against Pakistan. 

Be that as it may, inquired as to whether Head was under any weight in front of one month from now's arrangement against New Zealand, Langer stated: "No, they're all under strain. 

"Each Australian player is experiencing strain each time they play. He passed up the last Test in England, he hasn't made the runs he was most likely seeking after. 

"Be that as it may, he made the runs in his last Shield game, played well in the main innings. He handled well. 

"We will simply be urging him to play his best cricket at a ground he adores."
