Shane Warne<\/a> has axed Travis Head<\/a> from his Australian XI for the third Test, despite naming the left-hander a potential future captain of the country.<\/p>\n

Warne, like many, has been left frustrated with Head's summer so far, with the 26-year-old notching scores of 7, 38 and 17 through the first two Tests against India.<\/p>\n

However, what has angered Warne in particular is the mode of dismissals which seem to have become recurring for Head.<\/p>\n

"I'm a bit frustrated with Travis Head because he's getting out the same way all the time," he told Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

\"Travis<\/p>\n

"We know what a talent he (Head) is, he's probably a future captain \u2026 He still could be, but he's got to get in the side first \u2013 and at the moment I wouldn't have him in the side. He's got a little technique deficiency he needs to sort out first."<\/p>\n

Warne's sentiment was echoed by Andrew Symonds, who said Head was prone to getting himself out by playing "nothing shots".<\/p>\n

With Travis, he's probably just got to go back (to domestic cricket) and really work on how he commits (to shots)," he said.<\/p>\n

"They're just tentative shots, you can see the disappointment as he turns and walks off and thinks 'it was just a nothing shot'.<\/p>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

"When you're playing for your position, this is when you really get tested mentally. Can you clear your mind and really play in a positive (mindset), every shot you play it's got to be positive even when you're defending \u2013 and he just looks a little bit tentative at the moment.<\/p>\n

"He seems to be struggling confidence-wise just to how hard he's going to commit and build his innings in his first 20 to 30 runs."<\/p>\n

WARNE'S XI:<\/strong> 1. David Warner, 2. Marcus Harris, 3. Marnus Labuschagne, 4. Steve Smith, 5. Matthew Wade, 6. Cameron Green, 7. Tim Paine (C & WK), 8. Pat Cummins, 9. Mitchell Starc, 10. Nathan Lyon, 11. Josh Hazlewood<\/p>\n
