Usman Khawaja believes the Australian men’s test team will be remembered as a great team if they manage to overcome the three big challenges ahead over the next six months.
The team will fly to India next week for the first of three overseas missions that will shape where the team stands in gaming history. Australia have not won India since his 2004/05, then with a Test World Cup final due in early June and before Ashes he will try to keep the ballot box as he did in 2019. Not only will we aim to win the series in England. First time since 2001.
Having spent his 2022 productively after a last-minute recall and starting the year with a career-high 195 that was not his SCG, Khawaja is a likely top-five all-around average bettering his 45. Forms a key figure in an experienced batting team that exceeds. The year is old.
“100%, definitely,” Kawaja said when asked if the team deserved a big win if he won the three trophies on offer. “But win, lose or draw, we played great cricket. We are the best in the world at the moment and we were the same last year, we have some great players in this team. [For us] Steve Smith is one of the best Test cricket batsmen I’ve seen and he’s also a great bowler.
“Personally, it’s probably the best team we’ve ever had, because even when I joined the team, we were kind of in transition. We had some great players [and ], so it’s just real…beautiful.”To be a team where everyone trusts each other and can’t wait to see what happens in the next six months.” am. “
After seeing the 2001 series rout, Jason Gillespie, who was part of the team that won India in 2004, added to his voice what winning India meant for the team. . “Frankly, this could be a career-defining tour for this group of Australian players. I look forward to seeing what this group of players can achieve in India.”
Usman Khawaja prepares for first test in India
Khawaja was part of the squad for his Tour of India in 2013 and 2017, but has yet to test in India. He was one of his four players banned from the test on his trip to Homeworkgate in 2013 for failing to return the assignments given by his coach Mickey Arthur.
This time, Khawaja returns as a more complete spin his player, more comfortable in a relaxed set-up. He’s been keeping an eye on his India tour in recent months and is making some preparations for his summer home. “We are always looking to future tours,” he said. You have to keep the tour in mind.
“While I’m training, I’m still practicing for the home games here, but when I feel like I’ve done it, I’ll do what I think I’ll do in the next two games.” I know it’s like that. Many others who are similar are just coming of age.Many of us are quite old now. we’ve been doing that for a while.
