Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, who is currently IPL side Delhi Capitals’ assistant coach, has come down heavily on Cricket Australia (CA) for keeping Usman Khawaja out of Test contention for more than two years, given his pedigree and batting credentials. 

Khawaja already has four centuries to his name this year and finished the recent three-Test series against Pakistan amassing 496 runs from five innings at an amazing average of 165.33. Khawaja’s superb performances in 2022 have seen him climb to a career-best seventh in the latest ICC Test Rankings for batters.
