**Sydney, Australia** – Travis Head’s impressive form in T20 cricket has reignited the debate over Australia’s Test opening slot. Head’s recent white-ball success, including a century in the recent T20 World Cup, has led many to consider his potential to translate his limited-overs prowess into the longer format.

While Australia currently enjoys strong opening partnerships in Test cricket, questions remain over who will partner Steven Smith in the future. Head’s explosive batting style and consistent performance in T20s have made him a strong contender for the coveted opening position.

Meanwhile, other cricket news highlights include:
