Travis Michael Head (born 29 December 1993) is an Australian cricketer, currently contracted to South Australia for domestic matches. From South Australia, Head represented the state at both under-17 and under-19, making his debut in the National Under-19 Championships at the age of 17.[1] He went on to play 18 Youth One Day International (ODI) matches for the Australian national under-19 team, including at the 2011 ICC Under-19 World Cup.[2] Having been awarded a rookie contract by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), Head made his Template:Cric FC debut for South Australia during the 2011–12 season of the Sheffield Shield, in a match against Victoria at the Adelaide Oval.[3] He went on to play in each of South Australia's three remaining Shield matches, scoring two half-centuries with a best of 90 runs against Tasmania, which included a 177-run partnership with Michael Klinger (219 not out).[4] Head remained a regular selection for the 2012–13 season, usually batting in the middle order.[5] He again participated in the National Under-19 Championships, and was named Player of the Tournament for a second consecutive occasion.[6] However, shortly after South Australia's win against Victoria in January 2013, Head was hit by a car outside a hotel in Adelaide, receiving injuries to his head and back.[7] At grade cricket level, he plays for Tea Tree Gully.[8]
