Shock to Australia! Travis Head doubtful to play in World Cup, know the reason

Due to injury, Australia’s star opener Travis Head is in doubt to play in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 (ICC ODI World Cup 2023) in India, which can prove to be a big blow for Australia. Actually, the fourth ODI of the ODI series between South Africa vs Australia (SA vs AUS) was played on 15 September, where Africa registered a huge victory by 164 runs. During this time, in the seventh over of the second innings, Head got injured on a short ball by Gerald Coetzee on his left glove (Travis Head Injury). After that he played about three more balls. But later he had to leave the field.

“It’s a definite fracture,” Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said in the post-match conference regarding the head. The nature of the deadline will be assessed tomorrow. He will go for more scans tomorrow to get his detailed information, then we will work on its management from there. I’m no medical person, but I think it’s a little above the finger. It is somewhere in the joint of the hand. “The World Cup is fast approaching and so fingers crossed.”

First match against India

Australia has to play against India in its first match in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The match between India vs Australia is to be played in Chennai on 8 October. In such a situation, there are only a few days left for the World Cup to start and Australia will face a big blow due to the injury of Travis Head. However, the head coach has told that he has to undergo a scan and after that it will be known how serious his injury is.

Teams can make squad changes till September 28

All 10 teams of the ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India can make changes in their squads till September 28. However, if players are out of the tournament due to injury after September 28, then the cricket board of that country will have to take approval from the ICC. The World Cup is to start from October 5 between England vs New Zealand.
