Put Myself In Front Of Pat And Said 'Just Take The Emotion Out Of It': Usman Khawaja

By IANS News January 09, 2023 • 13:26 PM View: 586

When Australia declared their first innings at 475/4, left-handed opener Usman Khawaja was left stranded on 195, missing his first Test double hundred by just five runs. The move from captain Pat Cummins led to huge criticism from cricket fans.

Now, Khawaja has revealed that he had encouraged Cummins to declare the innings, putting the team above his personal milestone. "I could sort of feel it off Patty, you can sort of walk past and sense this awkward tension and I was like, 'Yeah, I know what he's thinking'."
