'Talk About Usman Khawaja's Place In 5th Test, The Most Challenging Conversation'

By IANS News January 11, 2022 • 11:27 AM View: 1046

Australian selector Tony Dodemaide has said he will take a call on whether in-form batter Usman Khawaja will play in the fifth and final Ashes Test or not only after seeing how "people pull up physically and medically" in the wake of the COVID-19 surge in the country.

The Australian cricket team too has been impacted by the virus with star batter Travis Head testing positive for COVID-19 following the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne and captain Pat Cummins missing the second Test at Adelaide after coming in contact with a COVID-positive person.
