Australia’s Usman Khawaja Cleared To Play 2nd Test Against WI
NRMA Insurance Test: Australia’s left-handed opener Usman Khawaja has been cleared to play the second Test against West Indies at The Gabba, starting on January 25, following him clearing all the protocols after suffering a concussion in the series opener at Adelaide.
At the Adelaide Oval, where Australia beat West Indies by ten wickets, Khawaja was struck on the helmet by a short ball from debutant fast-bowler Shamar Joseph and had to retire hurt with one run needed for the win.
“Usman Khawaja has been cleared to play the second NRMA Insurance Test match against the West Indies in Brisbane. Khawaja was assessed again today and has no symptoms of delayed concussion. He will train at the Gabba tomorrow,” said a statement from Cricket Australia (CA).
