Travis Head
Premier Australia batter Travis Head will skip the white-ball series against Pakistan at home to spend some quality family time before he gets cracking at the Indian bowling attack during the upcoming high-octane five-Test series, starting on November 22 in Perth.
Head, who is expecting his second baby with wife Jess, is taking a break from next month's three-match ODI series against Pakistan and won't feature in the subsequent T20 campaign against the same opposition.
