Australian cricket star Travis Head to team up with Steven Smith at Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket 2024

Australian cricket star Travis Head is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in his career as he joins forces with compatriot Steven Smith at the Washington Freedom for the upcoming edition of Major League Cricket (MLC) in 2024. The duo’s partnership is set to add firepower to the franchise’s lineup, with Head’s decision to continue playing cricket post the T20 World Cup drawing attention.

Scheduled to kick off on July 4, MLC will see Head making the most of the break in Australia’s international schedule until September’s white-ball tour of England. Despite currently representing Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing IPL 2024, Head has opted to extend his playing time by participating in MLC, showcasing his skills with an impressive performance in the IPL.

Joining the likes of former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who recently took on the role of Washington Freedom’s coach, Head and Smith are poised to make a significant impact on the team’s performance. Smith, who has been a brand ambassador for Freedom since last year, aligns perfectly with the franchise’s high-performance ethos.

In addition to Head and Smith, Washington Freedom has also secured the services of New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra and retained overseas players Marco Jansen and Akeal Hosein from the previous season. The influx of Australian talent in MLC’s upcoming season, including players like Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson, and Tim David, promises an exciting competition ahead.

As the anticipation builds for MLC 2024, fans can look forward to witnessing some top-notch cricket action with the addition of these stellar Australian players to the mix.
