Head unsure about playing in Aus-SL ODIs

Agencies

Australian batter Travis Head said that he is unsure about being in the playing XI in the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Australia will play against the host's Sri Lanka in five-match ODI series starting on June 14. Head is included in both the ODI squad that departed for Colombo and Australia A squad that will be playing a number of one-day and first-class matches in Sri Lanka. "It means I probably won't start (in the ODI series)," said Head as per cricket.com.au.

"I'm realistic in that Davey (Warner) and Finchy are back together at the top of the order, and then you've got a middle-order that's so set in that side it's a hard one to get into," he added. The 28-year-old further talked about his plan, "I think the plan is to see the lay of the land for the first couple of ODIs and, if the opportunity isn't quite there and a spot doesn't open up, then there's a chance for me to play in the second Australia A (four-day) game and turn my focus to the Test series."
