New to Kayo?It was a forgettable campaign for Head, who only played the series opener in Melbourne before being released from the squad. Australian fans got a glimpse of the 21-year-old’s destructive potential this week, with the Victorian only needing five deliveries to announce himself to the cricket world on Sunday.
