Travis Head has opened up about his refusal to weigh into the Australian Test opening debate that followed the retirement of David Warner, saying suggestions he never wanted the top order role were “untrue”.
“I don’t think it needs to be spoken about. I think it just creates too much bullshit really. That’s just my point of view,” Head told this masthead. “This happened to me the first time when I backed up a couple of mates, Marcus Harris and a few others who open the batting, and I come out and say ‘yes I do want to open the batting’, and that creates a headline.
“It’s an unwanted distraction for me and I think it would be an unwanted distraction in how it’s interpreted by other people,” he said. “Someone is reading at home who’s an opening batter and all of a sudden it comes out that I want to. “I’ve never worried too much about where I bat, I don’t really care where I bat if I’m honest, I’m happy to bat where I best fit for the team. At the moment it’s at five and it has been for a while.
