'He Is Up There Now': Ian Healy Feels Usman Khawaja Could Get Test Recall For Ashes

By IANS News October 18, 2021 • 11:59 AM View: 1188

Australian cricket legend Ian Healy has said that 34-year-old Queensland batter Usman Khawaja could get a Test recall for the Ashes series, adding that the Pakistan-born player was the ideal candidate to open the innings with David Warner when the five-match series commences in Brisbane on December 8.

The 57-year-old wicketkeeper-batter added that what could convince Cricket Australia to include him in the squad was the player's ability to "convince them that his technique outside off is solid".
