#2 Travis Head
Australia had given up on the Finch-Warner combination in 2016, opening the doors for Travis Head to open the batting. A quality striker of the cricket ball, Head made the opportunity count. He has scored 744 runs in 22 ODIs with a hundred and five half-centuries.
Head also bowls tight off-spin and can chip in with at least five overs in ODIs. An average of 37.20 combined with a strike rate of 88.4 makes him the perfect foil for an attacking Warner at the other end.
He can also come down the order or play at No. 4, making him a useful guy to have in the limited overs sides. Head has 11 wickets in 22 ODIs with a best of 2/22. Australia are desperately in need of a dependable batsman, and having Head will mean they have one less headache to worry about.
