Travis Head Claims Second Consecutive Allan Border Medal
Travis Head has been awarded the Allan Border Medal for the second year in a row, surpassing fellow Australian cricketers Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc during a ceremony in Brisbane.
Head received 153 votes, just ahead of Carey with 152 votes and Starc with 150. Starc was also recognized as the Shane Warne Test player of the year, while Mitchell Marsh won the ODI player of the year award.
Throughout the 2025/26 season, Head played 30 matches for Australia across all formats, amassing 1,437 runs, including three centuries during the Ashes series. The Allan Border Medal ceremony was postponed this year to ensure the presence of the players, as last year Head accepted the award via video due to a scheduling conflict.
