‘CAN BAT ANYWHERE’ IF SELECTED IN OZ SQUAD: KHAWAJA

Australian batter Usman Khawaja has said that he can bat anywhere in the top-order if he gets selected for the upcoming Ashes.

England and Australia will lock horns in the five-match Ashes, beginning December 8 at the Gabba, Brisbane. Khawaja who is leading Queensland in the ongoing Sheffield Shield, registered back-to-back centuries and calls for his inclusion in Australia’s squad keep rising.

“If you’re talking about me opening, and what not, but I’ve been batting four for Queensland for the last two years. So for me batting, if there’s a spot at five it’s as likely as opening the batting. It probably makes more sense in some respects. So for me, I think I’ve talked to selectors about it, I’ve told them I can bat anywhere along the order,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Khawaja as saying.

Khawaja said that he would love to play for Australia again, but currently his focus remains on scoring runs for Queensland in the ongoing Sheffield Shield. “I’d love to play for Australia. If it happens, if it doesn’t, honestly, it’s not in my thinking because I’m out here trying to score runs for Queensland,” said Khawaja.
