Travis Head returns to Sussex as captain

Australian batter Travis Head will return to Sussex for the 2022 season and captain the club in the County Championship.

The 27-year-old, who has played 19 Tests for Australia, will feature in all formats for the south coast county and be available from the start of the new campaign.

Head will take over as skipper of Sussex’s red-ball team from Tom Haines, who was only handed the role in August after Ben Brown was relieved of the captaincy.

Head has been Australia’s vice-captain in the past and has scored centuries in both Test and one-day international cricket.

Ian Salisbury, Sussex’s County Championship and List-A head coach, added: “Travis was incredible in the way he conducted himself, whether in the dressing room or on the field.

“He’s exactly the kind of person we want in our environment and around our youngsters.”
