10. Usman Khawaja
The experienced left-handed batsman Usman Khawaja will play the first test match against India starting from 6th December 2018. He made his test debut for Australia in 2011 against England. He has played 35 test matches ( 60 innings) and scored 2455 runs.
During the first test match against Pakistan in UAE, Khawaja played one of his best knocks in Asia scoring 141 runs while opening the innings during a massive run chase. He was awarded the man of the match for his marathon effort.
Khawaja has scored 565 runs from 7 test matches ( 12 innings) with 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries to his name.
With no David Warner and Steve Smith in the squad, Usman Khawaja needs to play a big role and provide a solid foundation for a big total.
