Flailing Aussies handed big boost as Head confirms WC return
Nca NewswireOpener Travis Head could be ready to play as soon as Australia‘s fifth World Cup clash with New Zealand after returning to the nets with his flight to India booked for Thursday.
Instead he could return to face the Kiwis giving him four games before the finals, should the Australians, who are yet to open their World Cup account after two matches, make it that far.“When we decided not to go with surgery, which would have meant a 10-week recovery, we were told it would be minimum six weeks with the splint before we could look at playing again.
“I wasn‘t even sure I’d be able to bat when the splint came off but, apart from a fair bit of stiffness given I hadn’t been able to use it for the past four weeks, I was able to hit balls and play a fair range of shots.”
