If I've Learned Anything, It's Work Hard, Train Hard, Says Usman Khawaja Ahead Of Ashes Tour
Australia's veteran left-handed opener Usman Khawaja believes that his past learnings from two Ashes trips have made him realise the importance of working and training hard while keeping low expectations as a batter while playing Test matches in England, ahead of third Ashes trip coming in just a month.
Khawaja was dropped from the Test team in Ashes trips of 2013 and 2019 while not getting a chance to be on the touring party in 2015. His record from Tests in England doesn't make for great reading -- average at a paltry 19.66 from 12 innings. But since recall to Test cricket in January 2022, no batter has scored more runs than Khawaja's 1608 runs, with the average at 69.90 from 16 Tests.
