Usman Khawaja quizzed on Australia's opening debate for Lord's

Usman Khawaja quizzed on Australia's opening debate for Lord's

London, June 9 (UNI) Australia batter Usman Khawaja is not concerned by who will win the nod to partner him at the top of the order during the ICC World Test Championship Final and is instead focused on making his own solid contribution with the bat during the Ultimate Test at Lord's.
Khawaja has been a mainstay at the top of Australia's batting order for the entire World Test Championship cycle, but the experienced left-hander has had a variety of partners as opener in recent times since the retirement of long-time teammate David Warner.
The Aussies have tried Steve Smith, Nathan McSweeney, Travis Head and Sam Konstas alongside Khawaja since the retirement of Warner from Test cricket at the start of last year and the reigning World Test Championship winners are even considering promoting usual No.3 Marnus Labuschagne up the order for the one-off Test against South Africa.
