3rd Test: 'Khawaja Got To Really Do Those Hard Yards', Says Allan Border
Allan Border: Former Australia cricketer Allan Border has asked for veteran left-handed opener Usman Khawaja to put in hard yards if he wishes to play Test cricket for 12 more months.
Khawaja recorded another lean score in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after being dismissed for 21 by Jasprit Bumrah at the Gabba on Sunday. With Khawaja set to turn 38 on Wednesday, questions have been raised over him being able to hold on to his place in the team ahead of next year’s Ashes at home.
“He’s got to really do those hard yards. If that (motivation) drops off, you’ll almost guarantee that your game will drop off. He’s naturally a very good player… he’s put a lot of work in, don’t get me wrong, but (he needs to) keep maintaining that, and more. He’s got a young family now, those things then start taking priority away from the game.
