World Test Championship: Australia Finalise Playing XI For Perth Test Against Pakistan
As expected, Pat Cummins captains Australia in their first international encounter of the summer. The big news is the appointment of Travis Head as the vice-captain of the Australia side. He’ll be the co vice-captain of the team along with the present deputy, Steve Smith.
Head’s promotion reflects a trust in his abilities, which saw him deliver back-to-back match-winning performances in the semi-final and final of the recent ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
