Australia's Head says Coetzee hit a 'blessing in disguise'

Australia's opener, Travis Head, entered the World Cup later than expected due to a fractured hand, but he views the injury as a "blessing in disguise." Head sustained the injury during the third one-day international of Australia's tour of South Africa in September when a rising delivery from Coetzee struck him on the left arm, resulting in a fracture. Although Head was at risk of missing the World Cup, Australia retained him in the squad until he regained fitness. In his sixth league match, Head played a crucial role, scoring a match-winning century against New Zealand.
