‘Lagta hai ab Kangaroo jitne lagenge’ – Fans react as Travis Head leaves Australia to join team in ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 in India

The Australian cricket team are having a hard time in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. They are currently at the bottom of the points table after losing their first 2 matches against India and South Africa respectively. The major concern for the Australian team management is the failure of the opening batter Mitchell Marsh in both matches.

Meanwhile, the Kangaroos have taken a sigh of relief as their star left-handed opener Travis Head has left Australia to take place in the ongoing major tournament in India. Head left for India on Monday, October 16, however, it’d be interesting to see from when he will start playing. Head injured his left hand during the ODI series against South Africa, however, now he has recovered and is set to return to the squad. Head also talked about the surgery recently.

“It’s coming along well, and probably better than we hoped, when we decided not to go with surgery, which would have meant a 10-week recovery, we were told it would be a minimum of six weeks with the splint before we could look at playing again.” Head was quoted as saying by One Cricket.

Everything would need to progress perfectly from here: Travis Head

Head further explained and said that considering the recovery time, he should be available for Australia’s clash against the Netherlands which will take place on October 25 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

“Following this plan, the Netherlands match is just under six weeks from the impact, and it’s quite an ambitious target. Everything would need to progress perfectly from here to meet that deadline.”However, we’ll assess how things develop in the coming days, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the possibility of reuniting with the team overseas later this week.” Head said.
