Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori revealed on Sunday that SRH opener Travis Head contracted COVID-19, thereby delaying his return to India for the remainder of IPL 2025’s league stage. The southpaw is expected to arrive on Monday (May 19), thereby ruling him out of Sunrisers’ match against Lucknow Super Giants the same evening.
“Travis is coming in tomorrow morning. He was delayed. He actually had COVID, so he couldn’t travel. He’ll get in tomorrow morning and we’ll assess how he is after that,” Vettori told reporters ahead of the game here on Sunday.
The Aussie opener has had an underwhelming season so far, managing just 281 runs so far.
Already out of contention for the IPL 2025 playoffs, SRH has three matches left to play this season. The side is placed eighth on the points table after 11 matches.
The ongoing edition of the IPL resumed on May 17, over a week after it was suspended due to heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan.
