Strikers captain Travis Head has built a reputation as one of the most devastating batsmen in Australian cricket.

The left-hander blasted the club’s first BBL century with an unbeaten 101 against the Sydney Sixers on New Year’s Eve, 2015 and is Adelaide’s all-time leading Big Bash runscorer.

Head led from the front in his maiden summer as Strikers skipper in Adelaide’s Championship-winning BBL|07 campaign. He notched 374 runs at a club-high average of 53, including two Player of the Match performances. Head also contributed with the ball, claiming four wickets from just 13 overs.

The young power-hitter continues to make his mark on the international stage. Head crushed 96 runs from 107 balls in the Australia Day ODI against England at Adelaide Oval, backing up a career-best 128 against Pakistan a year prior. He was duly retained on Cricket Australia’s national contract list for 2018-19.

Another big summer beckons for the talented match-winner in BBL|08.
