‘I Will Be Retiring…’ Usman Khawaja’s Ultimatum For Test Cricket
Khawaja
With the 3rd Test between Australia and Pakistan at Sydney Cricket Ground being stopped due to bad light on Day 2, several fans and pundits called for a shift from red ball cricket to pink ball cricket.
However, Australian opener Usman Khawaja is against the idea of a permanent shift to pink ball Tests.
Khawaja, who has been involved in a battle with ICC recently over his voice of support towards Palestine, gave an ultimatum that he would consider retiring from the format if a change comes into play.
"If it is, I'm retiring. I personally think it's not (the solution). The red ball is so distinct. I play white ball, I play pink ball, I play red ball and they all react so differently." Khawaja said.
"Nothing reacts like that red ball. How they make it, the dye they put on it. But I don't make those laws, I don't make those rules." He added.
Australia have already won the 3-match Test series against Pakistan by winning the first 2 matches and are looking to have a clean sweep against the visitors.
Usman Khawaja failed to make his half century in the ongoing 3rd Test after losing his wicket to Aamir Jamal, who starred for Pakistan with a 6-wicket haul on the day.
