Selectors will have the opportunity to examine credentials more this week he chose to "A" Australia team which plays in England the mardi.Si bad shape or bad fortune assented to all Australian top agenda Khawaja is likely then online.
Technically, it has a few défauts.Strong soil and confident however short ball, Khawaja quickly but not flamboyant scores. A number of observers, such as Mark Waugh, think that it should be in the part for the first test.
"It is a very talented player, promising," said Waugh. "Selectors should strike so that the hot iron.»
Born in Islamabad, Khawaja moved to Australia when he was seven and his Sydney twang betrays no proof of its heritage, and unsurprisingly Khawaja is reluctant to brand itself.
"I see the big fuss about me in the team, but for the account that I never feel as I am always different", he said.
"All boys me deal with the same, and I realize indeed never until élever.Je media does really think sincerely on this subject that much."
He never claimed to have experienced any form of discrimination. "Never. It is very multiculturelle.surtout in the West end of Sydney, where I live. "As all Australians Trues, ash is anchored in the consciousness of the Khawaja.
"Which is more in mind is this series in 2005," says j. ' I literally stayed up and watched every day.I never test cricket match as much as I did it then. »
Just over five years later, it could be found in the heat of a pressed cendres.Il pot representations more with a double century against the Southern Australia, last month.

The drummer Idol Khawaja, however, is not an Australian - is not a Pakistan. ""I loved Brian Lara as he had as the West Indian flair", he said."I loved the way he played and it is the kind of guy I loved track and attempted to copy into the backyard if it wasn't him was Adam Gilchrist.".
Now, on the left the University Khawaja pilote.Lorsque licence, he took lessons with the intention of becoming a pilot if cricket wasn't flights. ""It was a backup plan," he explains.
"Cricket was going well, but to get from under-19 to first-class cricket is not only facile.Si it wasn't, I was going to shoot myself .but I fly much plus.Lorsque I have down time I want just to relax and play with my guitar."
Don't expect a repeat of 1990-91, ash tour and then, when David Gower and John Morris hired a Tiger Moth and sounded the soil where played their teammates who themselves both earn a heavy fine.
"I think I would have enough game to do this," riant.Il Khawaja will no doubt be hope that his own trip rather more happily ends.
