WTC Final 2023: Biggest challenge throughout my career playing for Australia has been fitting in, says Khawaja

The Hindu  

Pakistan-born Australia Test opener Usman Khawaja feels the biggest challenge throughout his career has been fitting in the national team by being true to himself and also earning the respect of his teammates through his on-field performances. For me it is always about fitting in and feeling like I can be myself in the Australian cricket team and that has taken a little bit of time,” Khawaja told the ICC. “And I am one of few coloured cricketers to ever represent Australia, so it is very proud for me.” The prolific opener, who has amassed 4495 runs from 60 Tests, is an integral part of the Australian Test team but the southpaw had been dropped post the 2019 away Ashes series despite some good scores. And there was a mould for Australian cricket at that time and that mould is not really there anymore.” Khawaja’s splendid run played a huge role in Australia qualifying for the maiden WTC final.
