Travis Head claimed his 11th Player of the Match award in Test cricket after his 163 in the fifth Ashes Test, surpassing Virat Kohli and equaling Rahul Dravid and Imran Khan.
Travis Head has become the first batter in Ashes history to score over 500 runs in a series while maintaining a strike rate above 75, plundering 528 runs at 87.12 in Ashes 2025-26.
Travis Head said he is jealous of England's Noosa trip and defended Ben Duckett after the mid-Ashes drinking controversy, saying reactions have been blown out of proportion and Australia have done similar things.
Australia maintained their perfect 100 PCT in the WTC standings after thrashing England by eight wickets in Perth. England's percentage dropped to 36.11 following the two-day defeat.
Travis Head has opted out of the final two T20I matches against India to play Sheffield Shield for South Australia, prioritizing Ashes preparation ahead of the first Test starting November 21.
