I feel for spinners in Australia: Usman Khawaja

By Saurabh Sharma May 09, 2020 • 12:08 PM View: 749

Sydney, May 9: Left-handed batsman Usman Khawaja has voiced his concern for the spinners in Australia, saying the lack of quality tweakers could leave the nation exposed like it was after Shane Warne's retirement.

According to Khawaja, his Queensland teammate Mitchell Swepson -- who has played just 1 T20I so far -- is the best spinner in Australia apart from Nathon Lyon. However, he is reluctant to bowl Swepson at domestic level because pitch conditions often don't suit spinners in Australia.
