World Cup 2023: Travis Head starts batting in the nets, will join the team soon

'According to that plan, the Netherlands match will be just under six weeks from effect which is quite an aggressive date, so everything will have to move forward perfectly from here to meet that deadline,' Head said. But we'll just see how it progresses over the next few days and I'm excited at the prospect of joining the boys out there at the weekend."

Cricket.com.au quoted Head as saying, "I wasn't even sure I'd be able to bat when the splint came off, but apart from a little bit of stiffness, for the last four weeks I haven't been able to use it, I Was able to hit the balls and play shots with proper range.

He also admitted that how he performs in fielding after the injury is still unknown to him. Head said, "I'm not sure what it will mean for fielding, we haven't figured it out yet. I had it scanned the other day and it's coming out fine, and I think it's Pat Cummins' It would be like a wrist that was bandaged for protection after a fracture.”

Head concluded, "So there are still some hurdles we need to overcome, and everything needs to fall into place from my side and from the team's perspective before we make a final decision. But hopefully, it's all good.", and I'll be on the plane Thursday.''
