Melbourne, December 24, 2024: India’s worries ahead of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground may intensify as Australia’s head coach, Andrew McDonald, has provided a positive update on star batter Travis Head. Recovering from a minor injury that kept him out of the first two Tests, Head is reportedly fit and ready to rejoin the Australian lineup, bolstering their batting order.
Head’s inclusion could pose a significant challenge for the Indian bowling attack, which has already struggled to contain Australia’s top order in the ongoing series. Known for his aggressive style and ability to dominate spinners, Travis Head’s presence is expected to add depth and firepower to the Australian middle order.
With the series evenly poised, Head’s return could tilt the balance in favor of the hosts, making the Boxing Day Test a crucial encounter for both teams. India, on the other hand, will need to regroup and counter the Australian batting lineup effectively to remain competitive in the series.
