Retiring khawaja

Retiring Khawaja: Retiring Australian batter Usman Khawaja has paid tribute to his parents, crediting the sacrifices they made during his childhood as he reflected on a career that spanned 88 Test matches.

During a press conference on Friday, Khawaja announced his decision to retire from international cricket and gave a shout-out to his parents, Tariq and Fozia and jokingly asked his father, “88 Test matches, Dad, is that enough?”

On Sunday, Khawaja explained the remark before the fifth Test began at the SCG, revealing the deeper meaning behind the humour.
