Darwin did not do well in the three-day preparatory match. 7 in one innings, 1 run in the other. But this performance of Usman Khawaja does not seem to be a barrier to his XI in Bangladesh tour. Because Australia captain Steven Smith is confident about him. Smith also said that Ashton Aga will be with Nathan Leyanne when he plays two spinners.
Khawaja lost his place to Shaun Marsh in India's tour of India in February-March. The 30-year-old top order batsman did not play any international match after playing Test against Pakistan against Pakistan in early January. However, in the 2016-17 season, the summer of the summer has done great summer kharte. In all three Tests against South Africa, he scored 314 runs at 52.33, above all. 266 runs at an average of 66.75 in the same Test against Pakistan. Yet the reason behind not keeping Khwaja in India was the weakness of spin. He has been out of Graeme Swann for five times in his 23 Test career, four times, Dilruwan Perera. It was taken into consideration that he had some bad record on the ground in the subcontinent. However, Khawaja has played only Sri Lanka in the sub-continent, 115 runs in 7 innings, average only 19.16. The Khajai is back in the Test series against Bangladesh in the sub-continent of Bangladesh.
Smith said, "It is almost a big player for Usman (Khawaja) this summer," Smith said almost sure that Khawaja XI in the Dhaka Test starts on August 27. He played very well in Australia in the last two years. If you can play more then it will be good for him. She looks forward to doing something great. I think, he can use the opportunity. '
In Australia, there will be some changes in the batting order when Khawaja returns. Smith has batted in three innings in almost all innings in India. But after returning to Khawaja, Smith left the place and dropped four to four. This is Smith's favorite place. So far in 18 Tests, he has batted four in 29 innings, with 7 centuries and average 75.29 with fifty. Smith said, "I see Usman as the top order batsman. I have no objection to batting in three or four of my own. But it will not go down anymore. '
Ashton Agger's Test was not played after the debut series against England in 2013, and The selectors chose Steven O'Keefke as the partner of Nathan Leyton on the last tour of India. O'Keef took 19 wickets in 4 Tests, 12 wickets in the first Test of the series, the match between the players. However, O 'Kifake has not been kept in the team for Bangladesh tour. Smith is the favorite of Agarkar as Mitchell Swaypson, who is waiting for the debut as Nathan Lion's partner. Asked whether he will be in Aga XI, the Australian captain said, "So far he is more likely to stay. In the last two years and many improvements. I think, first of all do not have the opportunity. '
Smithers arrived in Dhaka on Monday night. Before leaving the country, the Australian captain said that he is very good team in their own conditions (Bangladesh). They are going to be very challenging. It will be great for us to play in those conditions. If we can learn what we learned from India, then it is better. Hopefully, guys have learned so much, we can use them and will be a successful one.
