Bring Khawaja Back At Top, Travis Down To No. 5 In Adelaide: Hussey
Khawaja, who missed the second Test victory in Brisbane due to back spasms, was unable to open in Australia’s first innings after spending prolonged time off the field with a back injury during England’s batting in the series opener in Perth.
In Khawaja's absence, Travis Head delivered a standout performance and scored a match-winning Ashes century for the ages. However, Khawaja is now fit again and has been selected in the 15-man squad for the Adelaide Test.
