Travis Head and his partner reveal anxious moments following an emergency plane landing

Australian left-handed batter, Travis Head, and his girlfriend Jess Davies have revealed a terrifying moment they endured after their plane made an emergency landing during their return from holiday in the Maldives.

Head's partner Davies took to her social media account to describe the harrowing experience.

She revealed how they were required to slide off the tarmac and enter an empty field.

"Our plane started descending 30 minutes into our one hour flight and we ended up landing on an island 45 minutes away from our destination,” she wrote.

"It was like watching a movie, the people panic and then some passengers got aggressive towards staff because they locked us in a room with no water or phone signal or any communication for 45 minutes which only scared people more," she added.

“Eventually they moved us to a nicer room with seating TV and Wi-Fi. We waited four hours for a rescue plane and were provided with accommodation,” she wrote.

However, she confirmed that the couple are safe and fine.

Earlier this year, Head confirmed that the couple are expecting their first child this September.

Head has had a fairytale last 8-9 months as an international cricketer. The southpaw was at his blistering best during the Ashes series on home soil last winter.

In 4 Tests, he smoked 357 runs including two career-defining hundreds at the Gabba and Hobart and was ultimately named the 'Player of the Series'.

He had a stellar time in Pakistan as well. In the absence of David Warner, he opened the innings and smashed as many as 190 runs in three games.

Last month, Head was named in Australia's Test and ODI squads for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
