Travis Head, Australian batter, has given a stern warning to India ahead of the BGT 2024-25. India will travel to Australia later this year for a series of five Test matches starting November 2024.
Travis Head has become the India’s nemesis over the past 2-3 years. In 2023, Travis Head was pivotal in two of Australia’s most significant victories over India, recording match-winning innings in both the World Test Championship Final and the ODI World Cup Final.
The BGT 2024-25 will be the first time India will play five Tests down under since the 1991-92 tour. The BGT 2024 will begin in Perth on November 22, and the next Test will be a day-night affair in Adelaide from December 6 onwards. The remaining three Tests will be played in Brisbane (Dec 14), Melbourne (Dec 26) and Sydney (January 3).
India will look to make it three series triumphs in Australia, having won 2-1 in both the 2018/19 and 2020/21 trips. Australia does not have a Test match scheduled before the series against India. While Rohit Sharma’s side leads the WTC rankings, Australia is close behind in second place.
