Travis Head’s brilliance takes center stage as his commanding century in the first Test against the West Indies propels him to the fifth position in the ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings.
The accolade comes on the heels of his inclusion in the ICC Test and ODI Teams of the Year for 2023, underscoring his consistent excellence on the field.
Head, named Player of the Match for his stellar performance in the Adelaide Test, is now a mere three places away from his career-best second position achieved in July last year during the Ashes.
The batter’s remarkable innings earned Australia a lead in the two-match ICC World Test Championship series, clinching victory by 10 wickets.
Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, with a remarkable nine-wicket haul in Adelaide, surges three places to secure the fourth spot among bowlers. Hazlewood’s career-best second position achieved in February 2017 is a testament to his enduring impact on the game.
Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood’s ascent in the rankings highlights Australia’s depth and dominance, setting a promising tone for their future Test endeavors.
