Usman Khawaja Biography

In the final Test of a horrendous Ashes 2010-11 campaign, the whole of Australia looked upon Usman Khawaja as a bright young batsman who would carry the flag of the Australian batting, which had witnessed its wheels coming off in the home summer.

Khawaja was welcomed by one and all at the Sydney Cricket Ground on a cloudy day as he batted. The first Muslim as well the first Pakistani-origin cricketer to represent for Australia, Khawaja was hailed as the one to watch out for, especially since he batted at the coveted No. 3 — a slot owned by Ricky Ponting for many years.

The left-handed batsman took his time to settle in; a lot, for Australia’s liking. He got his maiden fifty in South Africa in 2011, but struggled in England during the 2013 Ashes. During the tour of India earlier in 2013, Khawaja was one of the four Australian cricketers suspended for a Test failing to submit their ‘homework’. In 2014, Khawaja suffered a knee injury which kept him away from action for 6 months.

Khawaja returned to the Australian side only in 2015, and slammed a 239-ball 174 against New Zealand to mark a memorable comeback, at The Gabba. In the Trans-Tasman Trophy 2015-16, Khawaja scored 144 at Melbourne to rapidly establish himself in the Test side, strengthening his claim with a fluent 140 at Wellington in a few months later.

In the home series against South Africa in 2016-17, Khawaja provided Australia some respite with more than 300 runs in 3 Tests, which included a 97 at Perth and a match-winning 145 at the Adelaide Oval. However, Khawaja’s failures in Sri Lanka in July-August 2016 had put him in the league of the many Australian batsmen who have struggled in the Indian subcontinent.

Khawaja is also a qualified pilot, since he has a Bachelor’s Degree in Aviation from University of New South Wales.
