Travis Head has fired a warning shot to India ahead of Australia’s five-match T20I series against them at home. A day prior to the series opener at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, Head boasted about Australia’s firepower in the middle-order, and claimed that they can put up any total with the bat.

The firebrand Australian cricketer also added that they know how to take full advantage of the powerplay fielding restrictions, since it has been their “strength” for the last couple of years.

Travis Head discusses Australia’s “huge power”

While speaking with cricket.com.au, Travis Head boasted of Australia’s middle-order, which comprises of the likes of Tim David, and senior pros like Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell. He said:

“When you’ve got the power that we’ve got behind us, we’ve got to get a move on. You don’t want to be chewing up balls up at the start when you’ve got (Tim) David, (Marcus) Stoinis, (Josh) Inglis, (Cameron) Green and (Glenn) Maxwell behind you. It’s huge power.”

Travis Head also believes that Australia can get to any total, and their captain Mitchell Marsh has the ability of going berserk in the powerplay overs at the top of the order. The blistering left-handed batter added that their plan is to accumulate as many runs as possible in white-ball cricket. He stated:

“We can score anything if we can get going. So, for Mitch (Marsh) and I (the plan is to) try and go out there and take advantage of it (Powerplay fielding restrictions). It’s been a strength of ours for a couple of years, that if you look at both one-day cricket and T20 cricket we’ve put a big emphasis on the Powerplay. We try not to be reckless, but at some stage it will look like that… but yeah, the plan is to try and get as many as possible.”

The T20I series between Australia and India will commence on Wednesday, October 29 in Canberra. Hosts Australia won the preceding three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin.
