Australia missed out on the title after losing to South Africa in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025. It’s rare to see the Aussies lose in a final, and this defeat has made an impact on Australian cricket. However, Travis Head hopes the team will bounce back from this setback.
Speaking about the loss in the final, Head said,
“There’s always extra motivation to go out there and play well. We didn’t perform well against South Africa, and that’s unfortunate. Things didn’t go according to plan, and the opposition played really well.”
He added,
“We have two more years to build ourselves again. So I believe if we dwell too long on this (the final loss) or keep looking back, we’ll forget to move forward.”
Like the team, Head himself couldn’t deliver a strong performance in the final. The explosive batter hopes to perform well in the upcoming West Indies tour.
Head said,
“No matter how tough it is, we play a lot of cricket and we’ve become used to it. What’s done is done — we can’t change that. So, we need to move forward and play good cricket.”
