Travis Head backs Rohit's decision to skip 1st Test: Would have done the same

New Delhi: Australian batter Travis Head has backed Rohit Sharma’s decision to miss the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Sharma will be absent to be with his wife following the birth of their second child.

Ahead of the first Test starting on November 22, Travis Head expressed his support for Rohit Sharma’s decision, emphasizing that cricketers often miss significant life events and can never reclaim that lost time. Head added that he would have made the same choice if he were in Rohit’s position.

“Hundred per cent, I support Rohit’s decision. I would have done the same in the same situation. We sacrifice a lot of things as a cricketer. We do live a very privileged life and we do also get looked after. But also on the flip side we keep missing important milestones. So, ya, I would do the same thing if I was in his position, you do not get that time back. Hopefully, he returns at some stage in this series,” Travis Head told the press on the sidelines of Australia’s training in Perth.
