Ahead of the first Test clash against Pakistan, Australia skipper Pat Cummins named Travis Head as the co-vice captain alongside Steve Smith. Australia will face Pakistan in Perth on Thursday, a clash that promises to be a gripping affair of red-ball cricket.
Head, who has been the guiding light for the Baggy Greens in their World Test Championship and World Cup triumph earlier this year, has been promoted through the ranks.
The Southpaw’s recent promotion could be a foreshadowing of Australia’s future leader in the white jersey.
The 29-year-old was added to Australia’s leadership group on Wednesday, just a day before the three-match Test series between two cricketing giants kicks off.
“Really excited to have Trav on board as the co-vice-captain. He’s been playing for a long time. He’s always been a leader in our group. So we thought it was a good time to formally recognise that. While nothing’s imminent, Steve’s not going to play forever. I daresay I’m not going to be captain forever.
