Ashes 2019: Usman Khawaja declared fit to play 1st Test at Edgbaston from August 1

India TV News  

Australia batsman Usman Khawaja will be available for selection for the first Ashes Test against England beginning Thursday. On Monday, Khawaja went through a series of rigorous fitness test which included a series of 10 twos on the Edgbaston outfield before spending 45 minutes in the nets, taking slips catches from fielding coach Brad Haddin and then returning to the nets for another hit, reports cricket.com.au. Now, the only thing that can prevent Khawaja's selection for the first Ashes Test is whether the selectors deem the left-hander has had enough match practice since the injury to slot into the starting XI. Khawaja has been batting at the No.3 spot since the last Ashes series in England four years ago, posting eight centuries and an average of 47.76 in that period.
