His comments came after Matthew Hayden brutally criticised Australian selectors over the return of Nic Maddinson. As Australia prepare for the first Test against South Africa in Durban, the vice-captain made it clear that the current players are strong enough to handle criticism from former cricketers.
He feels some former players have been too quick to question the current generation and their performances. However, Head understands that former cricketers are doing their jobs as commentators and analysts. Amid this, Todd Greenberg gives update on 12-team WTC, wants AUS vs SA 5-match Test series.

Travis Head also shared the reason behind the fall in batting averages. Test batting averages have dropped by nearly 20 per cent compared to the end of the 2010s. A similar decline has also been seen in Sheffield Shield cricket since the mid-2000s.
