Khawaja Criticises Perth Pitch Despite ICC’s ‘very Good’ Rating For Ashes Opener
Usman Khawaja Foundation: Australia opener Usman Khawaja, who has retained his place for the second Ashes Test at the Gabba, came down heavily on the series opener pitch in Perth despite the ICC giving the surface a ‘very good’ rating.
In the opening Test that lasted for less than six sessions, 19 wickets fell on the first day, while the second day saw 17 dismissals as Australia scripted an eight-wicket win to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Meanwhile, Khawaja, who was unable to open in either innings because of back spasms, voiced his disappointment with the pitch used for the Perth Test.
