Head Released From Australia ODI And T20I Squads, Bartlett To Be Rested For Second ODI
Australia ODI: Australia opener Travis Head has been released from both the ODI and T20I squads to "refresh" after a strenuous Test summer, and pace bowler Xavier Bartlett has been rested for the second ODI against West Indies but is anticipated to return with vigor for the third game in Canberra.
World Cup-winning quick Josh Hazlewood has been added to Australia's squad for the second ODI against the West Indies at the SCG.
Bartlett's impressive performance in Melbourne, where he claimed 4 for 17, marked a memorable start to his international career. However, the management's decision to rest him for the second ODI is part of a calculated plan to manage his workload cautiously. A Cricket Australia statement said the decision formed part of his "ongoing management" after the 25-year-old Queenslander missed the first half of the domestic season following his return from a back stress injury.
