He’s Incredibly Valued Within This Group: McDonald Backs Khawaja Despite Axing From Adelaide Test
Adelaide Test: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald maintained complete confidence in Usman Khawaja despite the veteran opener being axed from the playing XI for the third Ashes Test, calling him the "important part of the group.”
Khawaja, who missed the second Test victory in Brisbane due to back spasms, was unable to open in Australia’s first innings after spending a lengthy period off the field with a back injury during England’s batting in the series opener in Perth.
Although Khawaja stated he was ‘100 per cent fit’ and ready to take part in the third Ashes Test in Adelaide, he expressed his desire to don the whites and compete for Australia despite his difficulties with both health and form.
