Only yesterday, Greg Baum wrote this about Usman Khawaja, who just scurried through for a quick single that belied his 38 years:
Don’t forget it was accident that made Khawaja a Test opener in the first place, namely the bout of COVID contracted by Head during the last Ashes series here. Now accident – to wit, a back injury – might and probably should foreclose on his Test career.
Could it be that another accident, the illness that forced Steve Smith out of the XI, allows Khawaja a renaissance at No.4 just when we thought his career was over?
