Usman Khawaja: Ahead of David Warner set to play his final Test match when Australia play Pakistan at SCG on Wednesday, his opening partner and childhood friend Usman Khawaja was left touched over the left-handed batter getting emotional when speaking about him in the press conference.

“It is quite special and quite emotional; I haven’t seen that. You don’t see that side of Davey at all. Obviously, he doesn’t show you that side when he is playing. He is a fierce competitor. You see the Bull and you see him go out there and play hard and I have known him for a long time, and I know that side of him,” said Khawaja to Fox Cricket.

In 111 Tests since his debut in 2011, Warner has scored 8695 runs at an average of 44.6, including 26 fifties and 36 half-centuries, proving to snatch the game away from the opposition in quick time and being one of Australia’s most successful openers in the format.
