Travis Head

Australian batsman Travis Head is known more for his hard-hitting batting in the middle order but ever since he made his debut for his country back in January 2016, he has often been called upon to roll his arm over by captain Steve Smith.

Head bowls right arm off spin and although he doesn't look like the most menacing bowler, he can do a job in slowing the game down a bit if the opposition looks particularly menacing.

He has taken 12 wickets in 28 ODIs at an economy rate of 5.59, which is not bad for a part-time bowler. However, in T20 cricket his economy rate is on the higher side (8.33) and needless to say, he would need to work on it if he is to be considered a worthy part-timer in the shortest format of the game.
