Head played his last T20I in 2018 but was recalled to play in the series against Sri Lanka. He had decided to play some first class cricket before Australia's tour to Pakistan.

On the other hand, Sams has played four T20Is and had a good BBL with Thunder where he was their leading wicket-taker with 19 at 24.57 and also hammered an astonishing 98 off 44 balls against Melbourne Renegades.
