Khawaja Backs Head To Open In Tests For Australia, Wants Smith At No. 4

By IANS News September 14, 2024 • 12:51 PM View: 438

Citing Sir Donald Bradman: Australia’s left-handed opener Usman Khawaja has backed Travis Head to partner with him at the top for the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, starting from November 22 in Perth.

He added that premier batter Steve Smith should bat at number four in the Test team. After winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home in 2014/15, Australia haven’t won the prestigious series on its home soil in 2018/19 and 2020/21 respectively.
