Travis Head says Australia was "fully committed" to doing well at the T20 World Cup amid claims players do not care about the shortest format of the game.
Head said "we weren't good enough" when assessing the team's disappointing performance in Sri Lanka.
England, India, New Zealand and South Africa are the final four teams left in the tournament and will face off in semifinals beginning March 4.
Travis Head has hit back at the public narrative suggesting Australia's cricketers failed at the T20 World Cup because they do not care as much for the format.

Australia's biggest challenge in the near future is to identify their next-gen fast bowlers and groom them for international cricket, former fast bowler Glenn McGrath has said.
In the absence of Mitchell Starc, who had retired from T20Is last year, and the injured pair of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, Australia crashed out of the group stage in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
"You look at the quicks that the Australian team used against England," McGrath said at the MRF Pace foundation ground in Chennai. "Scotty Boland, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson – they've been around the game a long time, so you're not replacing older guys with younger guys. So the next generation is going to be interesting."
