Travis Head urges Australia to temper expectations ahead of Bangladesh Tests

Travis Head urged Australia to temper expectations ahead of their two-Test series against Bangladesh beginning August 13 in Darwin. The opening batter said the team faces scrutiny despite being favourites in their World Test Championship campaign.

Australia sit atop the WTC standings with a point percentage of 87.5. Head warned that expecting runs against Bangladesh can be harder than facing stronger opposition because the game remains unpredictable.

Jake Weatherald will make his home Test debut in Darwin. The left-hander scored 483 runs at an average of 60.37 in six County Championship matches for Leicestershire this season.
