Travis Head

Travis Michael Head (born 29 December 1993) is an Australian international cricketer who represents the Australia national cricket team in all formats and is the current Test vice-captain. Known for his high strike rate, Head is a left-handed batter and part-time right arm off-spin bowler. He is contracted to South Australia at the state level and the Adelaide Strikers for the Big Bash League. Head has served as both a co vice-captain and vice-captain in Tests in multiple stints. Head captained Australia in T20Is and served as vice-captain in ODIs in 2024. Head was a key member of the Australian team that won the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final and 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup final, having been adjudged Player of the Match in both those finals. He also became the second player ever to score a century when batting second in a World Cup final. He also became the first player to score centuries in two consecutive ICC tournament finals in a same calendar year.
