World Cup 2023: The Australian cricket team had to face defeat against India and South Africa in both the opening matches of the World Cup 2023. It is now becoming difficult for 5-time world champion Australia to survive in the World Cup. Australia missed its lethal opening batsman Travis Head a lot in this tournament. Could not participate in the matches due to head injury. But now this player is once again ready to make a comeback.Head ready to returnAustralia's Travis Head took net practice on Sunday after recovering from a fracture in his left hand, which has increased the batsman's hopes of being included in the team for the World Cup soon. Head is likely to arrive in India on Thursday. He had removed the bandage from his hand last Friday. Before the World Cup, he suffered a fracture in his hand after being hit by a ball from South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee in Centurion. There is little possibility that he will be available for the match against Pakistan on Friday. However, after passing the fitness test, he can play against Netherlands in Delhi on October 25.Good comeback from injury- HeadHead told 'cricket.com.au' that I am recovering well. This is better than I expected. We decided not to have surgery because it would have taken 10 weeks to recover. We were told that recovery with a 'splint' would take at least 6 weeks. He said that according to our plan the match against Netherlands is about 6 weeks after my injury. If everything goes well then I have fixed the same date for myself. Australia has faced defeat in both its opening matches of the World Cup.
