Australia opener Travis Head said that he is interested in exploring the world of T20 cricket and will now throw his hat into the IPL auction later this year. Head has played 42 Tests and 62 ODIs along with 20 T20Is in his career. Head has scored 460 runs with 91 being the highest score. Despite having limited exposure to the shortest format in the game of cricket, Head is ready to explore the format.

Head said, "I will be in. I was restricted a little bit on time last year with getting married. I will put myself in this year and hopefully get picked up and get an opportunity. It was nice to be involved in it a long time ago” Head added, "... this is not a format I have been involved in much over the years. It was nice to be back in South Africa and contribute in the game.”
The Adelaide-born went on to say, "I feel like the game has evolved now and, next year, we have a massive block out, where I can play a fair bit of white-ball cricket if I get picked up or find myself in some teams around the world, so this is a path that I wanna try to explore. Having put all the eggs in the red-ball basket for a period of time now and I feel like I am really in good space mentally in my game and if I can transfer through formats well then I am eager to explore what those opportunities are and get more experience and learn."
After recovering from hand injury, Head smashed 109 from 67 balls to help Australia to a five-run win over New Zealand to keep them in the semifinal race but he was dismissed for 11, 0, 10 in the next three innings in the ODI World Cup 2023.
