(Image Source: Getty Images) Australia cricket team’s star opener Usman Khawaja (Usman Khawaja) by Steve Smith (Steve Smith) has shared his views on the news of possibly replacing David Warner in the Test team. Usman Khawaja believes that it is not a good idea to disturb the set batting position of Steve Smith and play him as an opener in the batting lineup of Australia Test team. The veteran opener stressed that while many top-order batsmen may have the ability to open, it would be foolish to remove Steve Smith from his No. 4 position, where he has performed best so far.

However, Australia captain Pat Cummins has clearly said that he is very happy with Steve Smith’s performance at number four, and did not hint at promoting him to the top order. At the same time, there are many options available in the Australian team, who can replace David Warner. This is a specialist batting position: Usman Khawaja Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au, “I agree it is a specialist batting position, but whoever can bat in the top four can open. But I wouldn’t want to sacrifice someone who in my opinion is the second greatest Test batsman in the position he has been batting in for so long. The specialty of Steve Smith is that he is a beautiful number 4 batsman. He can bat against fast bowlers. He is a really good batsman against spin as well.” IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI 5 test matches which ended in the fewest overs

Usman Khawaja explains the reason behind players giving priority to T20 cricket over Tests
The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. Usman Khawaja (Photo Source: Twitter) The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. For this reason, from time to time, voices have been raised to save Test cricket. In this sequence, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has reacted. He says that international boards will take steps for the safety of Test cricket. Recently, great Australian cricketer Steve Waugh had given a statement regarding red ball cricket and he said that many cricketers are moving away from the longest format of the game. Usman Khawaja’s reaction came immediately after this statement. He says that despite the craze for T-20 cricket, the only way to save Test cricket is to pay good salaries to the players. Speaking to Fox Sports, Khawaja said, if I was a player from another country and was getting paid well to play international cricket, I would have got paid more to play T20 cricket. I’m sorry, but I’m going to play T20 cricket. Not because it doesn’t make sense, I love playing for my country, but it’s also a matter of taking care of your family. Cricket boards need transparency He further said that, in my personal opinion, unfortunately the pay to play international cricket is not as good as in some other countries. These are just raw facts. I know this because I have talked to players from other countries. I’ve asked them what their average salary is, what their match contracts are for their countries. Khawaja says that, we have to find a way to encourage other countries to play international and especially Test cricket. For this, all cricket boards need transparency so that they can find out how to pay the players in the best way. If you look, there is a huge gap for the Windies, they are struggling, they are not bringing in enough money, so world cricket needs to come together to help. But until you get that clarity and know 100% that the money isn’t misallocated, it’s hard to know. read this also- Inzamam’s nephew dismissed from Pakistan team, 21 year old player will get a chance to debut in the third test
