Taking inspiration from England, Travis Head will face the Indian attack

Australia batsman Travis Head will shed his orthodox approach and adopt a dominant attack strategy in the upcoming Test series against India, inspired by England batsmen’s stupendous show in Pakistan. The four-Test series between India and Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin on February 9.

According to the ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, before the Australian team left for India, Head said, “After watching the way England batted in Pakistan, I looked back and found that in the last series played in the subcontinent, I did not play as much.” Didn’t bat as positive as I wanted to be.

He said, “The way I have played against spin in these series, I believe that if I play more positively, my footwork will be better and my defensive game will also be better. I know it will be completely different from playing in Australia. ”””’ Head said, ′′ We tested it against fast bowlers this summer. I think my ‘front foot defence’ is good and I believe that I have to go there with a positive mindset, not defensive.

Head played in the last three series in Asia. He played against Pakistan in 2018 and 2022 and in Sri Lanka last year. He scored only 213 runs in 11 innings in these series at an average of 21.30. Head said, “I think I took a bit of a defensive approach in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is important to go out there and assess the pitch and understand your role. There the match can be low scoring or high scoring. Sometimes you may have to make a big score or even a score of 40, 50 or 60 can win you over.
