Travis Head Prioritizes Test Cricket Over T20 Leagues

Travis Head, the Australian batting sensation, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, despite his success in the T20 league, Head remains committed to prioritizing Test cricket.

"I would put all my eggs in the Test basket for the moment," Head told PTI. "I will continue to do that."

Head's decision stems from his belief that Test cricket is the pinnacle of the sport. He has enjoyed a remarkable run in the longest format over the past year, scoring centuries in both the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup final.

While Head acknowledges the financial benefits of playing in T20 leagues, he is determined to limit his participation to just two events per year. This will allow him to focus on his Test career and maintain his fitness.

"After Tests, I will pick formats, and see in which different ways I am available for selection," Head said. "At this stage, I would like to be back here in [the] IPL next year. Like I will play Major League Cricket [in the USA] this year right after the World T20 [T20 World Cup] but next year might just look a lot different."

Head's decision is a testament to his commitment to Test cricket. He believes that the longer format allows him to showcase his full range of skills and contribute to his team's success.

"Look, in few years when I am finished with Test cricket, then probably there will be few more opportunities to play a bit more franchise cricket," Head said. "But at this time, I would try to limit it to a couple of franchise[s] maybe, and [focus on] Test cricket."

Despite his hectic schedule, Head is not concerned about workload management. He is determined to make the most of his time on the field and enjoy the moment.

"I know in a few years, I can retire and do nothing, I will have plenty of time to look back and wish I was back on tour, I would like to be in the moment, keep batting through and stay in the moment, enjoying the moment."
