Khawaja Avoids Sanction For Criticism Of Perth Pitch: Report
Cricket Australia had issued Khawaja a 'please explain' request for his remarks on the Perth Stadium pitch, and the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Wednesday that the 38-year-old batter has escaped punishment.
'Usman’s comments were not reflective of how the team viewed the pitch and Perth Stadium personnel are aware of this,” a CA spokesperson was quoted by the masthead.
