SYDNEY (Reuters) - Travis Head is unsure whether he will regain his spot in Australia's middle order for the final Ashes test against England after Usman Khawaja grabbed his chance by smashing twin hundreds in Sydney.

Head, who scored 152 in the first innings of the series opener at Gabba, missed the fourth match in Sydney after testing positive for COVID-19 with Khawaja named as his replacement for his first test in 2-1/2 years.
