BGT: 'Good Players Always Return To The Runs', McDonald Confident Of Khawaja Regaining Form
Melbourne Cricket Ground: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has thrown his support behind top-order batter Usman Khawaja to retain his form in the last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after an underwhelming start to the series against India.
Khawaja, who turned 38 last Wednesday, has scored just 55 runs across the opening three Tests and has reached 50 in only one of his past 17 innings for the national side. The Australian coach, however, is confident that Khawaja's preparation indicates a sizeable score is imminent, despite his recent struggle for form.
"I think he's fine, Usman's not a concern. Batting in recent times obviously has been quite difficult with a ball-dominating bat. But his method is clear, the way he's been preparing is clear and good players always return to the runs. I'm sure that will be the case over the next couple of Test matches," McDonald told reporters on Tuesday.
