Travis heads

Big Bash League: Travis Head has signed on for another year with Adelaide Strikers for the 14th straight Big Bash League (BBL) season.

The 31-year-old hasn't played for his hometown club in the past two seasons due to his international commitments, but the back-end of this summer's BBL campaign shapes as a perfect lead in to next year's T20 World Cup where Head will be key to Australia's hopes.

Pending his fitness and workload management following five Ashes Tests, the destructive left-hander could be available for the Strikers' final three or four regular season fixtures and finals, if they qualify.
