Watch Reactions: Australian Captain Pat Cummins is being criticized after the exclusion of Travis Head from the 1st Test against India

Australia's Captain under fire for omitting Travis Head in first Test against India, Fans are disappointed with this decision.

Australia’s cricket team is facing criticism after a disappointing performance in the first Test match against India in Nagpur. The visitors were rolled for just 177 runs, while hosts are just trailing by 100 runs at the end of day 1. This has caused many question on the decision to exclude in-form batter Travis Head from the playing XI.

Travis Head was not picked in the playing XI by Captain Pat Cummins

Head was the team’s most in-form player, having averaged 87.50 from his past five Tests. Despite this, he was surprisingly dropped by the Australian selectors. The reasoning behind this decision is still unclear, with some suggesting that Head’s poor performance in Asia or was it something else.

Many cricket experts and fans are now questioning this decision and are speculating that Australia’s batting performance may have been much better with Head in the team. They are also calling the omission of Head an “f***ing disgrace” and a “hard to believe” decision.

Here are some fan reactions:

After Australia’s poor batting in the first innings, it is impossible to ignore the impact that Head’s absence has had on the team’s performance in the first Test. With the series now underway, all eyes will be on the Australian team to see if they can bounce back and level the series. If they fail to do so, the decision to omit Travis Head may be scrutinized even further.
