Khawaja Calls For Australia Selectors To Prefer Class Over Form While Picking Next Test Opener
The veteran left-handed opener has been named in Australia’s 14-player squad for the first Test against Pakistan at the Optus Stadium in Perth, beginning from December 14. As of now, Cameron Bancroft, Matthew Renshaw and Marcus Harris are the leading contenders for the role post Warner’s retirement.
“To be honest, it (who my next opening partner is) doesn't really matter to me, genuinely. Whoever the selectors are going to pick, they're going to pick because they think they're the best for the role. I don't even believe in the ‘bat-off’ people are talking about right now. I think it (the decision) is going to come to a lot more than that.”
