England fast bowler Brydon Carse has revealed that the team has devised definitive strategies to counter the formidable Australian batsman Travis Head. Head's exceptional century in the opening Ashes test in Perth played a pivotal role in Australia's eight-wicket victory.

Replacing injured Usman Khawaja at the top of the order, Head delivered an aggressive performance, scoring the second-fastest century in Ashes history. Carse reassured that England is prepared to respond, regardless of who opens the batting for Australia in the second test in Brisbane.

Amid concerns over fellow pacer Mark Wood's fitness, Carse expressed confidence in England's adaptable bowling unit as they anticipate the challenges of a day-night test. "We're clear on our roles," Carse stated, emphasizing their readiness for bowling under varying conditions.
