Australia’s dangerous batter Travis Head has signed up with Adelaide Strikers for the upcoming season of Big Bash League (BBL). Head has a bustling international schedule which is why it remains unclear as to how many matches he will be playing. During the last season, Head was unavailable due to national commitments.

Australia are set to play high-profile Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, consisting of five games, and soon after that they have tour of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Strikers’ batting will be strengthened with the availability of Head as they already have the likes of Matt Short, Chris Lynn, Alex Carey and Ollie Pope

"I'm thrilled to sign for another year with the Strikers and can't wait to get back amongst the group under our new coach Tim Paine. I love pulling on the blue every chance I get and look forward to helping the boys go one step further after their fantastic late season run to the finals last summer," Head said.

Travis Head also captained the side to title victory during the 2017-18 season of the league. And, Strikers’ new head coach Tim Paine outlined Head’s batting mastery. 

"We understand 'Trav' has a hectic international schedule, but we also know how much he loves getting back in the blue whenever the chance arises. He's been in amazing form across every format in the past year or more, as we saw with his brilliant 154 not out off 129 balls in the ODI against England recently," Paine said.
