Warne has also called for the returning David Warner to open the innings with Marcus Harris, with Matthew Wade dropping down to his favorite number five spot.

Travis Head “probably a future Australia captain”: Shane Warne

Despite calling for Travis Head to be dropped, Shane Warne labelled the batsman as a future Australia captain. Head scored a memorable hundred in the 2019 Boxing Day Test, but has struggled to perform consistently over the last two years.

His knack of getting out in similar fashion has left a number of former Australia players frustrated.

Former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds also believes that Travis Head needs to go back to the domestic circuit to work on his technique.

Symonds said that Head is struggling for confidence, and some time out of the side may do him a world of good.

Shane Warne’s Australia XI for the third Test against India: David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, Cameron Green, Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood
