Australia Prepared To Take On Sri Lanka In The Two-Test Series, Says Usman Khawaja

By IANS News June 26, 2022 • 12:18 PM View: 1315

Charismatic Australia batter Usman Khawaja believes the team has learnt from its past mistakes on subcontinent pitches and is much better prepared to take on Sri Lanka in the two-Test series beginning in Galle on June 29.

Australia suffered a disastrous 0-3 whitewash the last time they toured the Island nation six year ago with Khawaja being made the "scapegoat". But the 35-year-old has returned to Sri Lanka with supreme confidence after making a massive impact in the three-Test series in Pakistan, which Australia won 1-0 under Pat Cummins recently.
