The Citizen
|January 07, 2026
A destructive Travis Head said yesterday he would likely remain opener for Australia in future after a sensational Ashes series highlighted by three centuries.
-
The 32-year-old has been superb since moving to the top of the order in the second innings of the first Test in Perth due to Usman Khawaja’s back injury.
After a match-winning 123 there he cracked 170 at Adelaide and followed it up with a power-packed 163 in Sydney.
The hosts have already won the series and Head has played a central role.
