He has appealed to the experienced batsman not to retire yet and to be seen performing well in international cricket for a few more years. Let us tell you that Usman Khwaja is currently 38 years old. Tim Paine believes that Usman Khawaja can still be seen performing tremendously for the Australian team. According to him, the experienced player still has a lot of cricket left which can prove to be very helpful for the Australian team. Speaking to SEN Tassie, Team Paine said, ‘I can’t believe we’re even talking about this. It’s just a statistic, especially as a batsman at this age. He is one of the best opening batsmen in the world and has performed brilliantly in the last two years. His eyes are still the same and the veteran players are also batting explosively. Tim Paine presented his side regarding young player Sam Konstas Regarding young player Sam Konstas, the former Australian captain said, ‘If it is a matter of short term, then we have got our answer. Of the four players playing right now, I think Sam Konstas is the best. This young player has batted brilliantly in the unofficial Test series against India A and some of his shots have been really tremendous. In the times to come, he can be counted among the best players. When Usman Khawaja retires from international cricket, Sam Konstas could well replace him. Usman Khawaja can prove to be a very important player for us in the coming summer. Let us tell you that Australia now has to play a five-match Test series against India, which is starting from November 22. The first test match between these two teams will be played in Perth.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will start in November Usman Khawaja. (Image Source: Getty Images) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). It is worth noting that in November this year, India will tour Australia for a five-match Test series. While the batting order of the Indian team seems to be very clear during this series, the same is not the case in the Australian camp. Let us tell you that the Australian management is still thinking about which player should open the innings. Because Steve Smith’s statistics while opening have not been very good. After David Warner retired in January this year, Smith has played four Test matches at this position, in which he has been able to score a total of 171 runs at a meagre average of 28.50. On the other hand, Smith’s average while batting at number 4 in Tests is 61. So now during BGT, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has named the player who can open with him. Khawaja has suggested the name of Travis Head. Usman Khawaja gave a big statement In a recent interview with Fox Sports, Khawaja said, “He (Smith) will probably never say this. So I will say this for him. Opening is a very important position, but I still think we have the best Test player of my era, Steve Smith, in the team, and his best position has been number four.” Khawaja further said- I think that is the best batting position for him. He brings balance to our team. Marnus Labuschagne at number three and Smudge (Steve Smith) at number four. It is best for the team that whoever scores more runs at which position, he should be played at that position.

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
