No need to imitate Warner's rapid-scoring approach, Khawaja tells McSweeney

Hindustan Times  

MELBOURNE, - Australia's Usman Khawaja said his new opening partner Nathan McSweeney should not feel the need to imitate the quick-scoring approach of David Warner in the test series against India. No need to imitate Warner's rapid-scoring approach, Khawaja tells McSweeney McSweeney will make his test debut in the series opener in Perth next week, the 25-year-old given the chance to make the role his own following Warner's retirement earlier this year. Warner's 70-plus strike rate in first class cricket is significantly higher than McSweeney's 41.92 but Khawaja said there were other ways a test opener can build an innings. "I don't know where this myth started that you need someone to score really fast to do well," Khawaja said.
