IND vs AUS: Champion player Australia out of Nagpur Test, Steve Waugh and Matthew Hayden open the front

The first Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played on 9 February at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. In which Australian team captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. Which has so far proved to be quite wrong. The Kangaroo team seems to be constantly struggling against the Indian spinners. At the same time, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden and captain Steve Waugh have taken a dig at the management of their own team.

In fact, former Kangaroo team captains Steve Waugh and Matthew Hayden have expressed surprise over the exclusion of Travis Head from the team for the first Test against India. Hayden said that Head himself would be surprised to learn that he was not playing. The Australian team management has picked right-handed batsman Peter Handscomb in place of 2021-22 Ashes player of the year Travis Head.

The biggest reason for not feeding Head was that he is a left-handed batsman. “I can’t believe it (Head being dropped), ‘for me he was the best player of the summer’ season,” Hayden was quoted as saying on Fox Cricket after the playing XI was announced for the match.
Matthew Hayden further mentioned that, ‘I know there were completely different conditions at the Gabba in Brisbane but his 90 (against South Africa) in Brisbane was brilliant. He scored runs on a difficult pitch as if it was a flat wicket. It was a green pitch full of grass.

Apart from this, the former captain of the Australian cricket team and veteran all-rounder Steve Waugh has also put his opinion in front of everyone regarding this issue. He could not digest how Travis Head could not be a part of the team. Along with this, Waugh has also taunted the Australian selectors. He wrote on the most popular social media platform Instagram that,

‘Hard to believe we could get the number four Test batsman out in the world and probably our best batsman in the last 12 months and also he bowls better than average off spin. Let’s wait and see. Perhaps Australia’s selectors are geniuses.
