Pakistan-born Usman Khawaja has been included in an 18-man squad for Australia’s first test tour to Pakistan since 1998, and its first in four years without Justin Langer as head coach.
The squad was confirmed three days after Langer announced he’d rejected a six-month contract extension offered by Cricket Australia and quit, a decision that left Andrew McDonald as interim coach.
Test captain Pat Cummins has been criticised by some high-profile former players including Ricky Ponting for not giving his full backing to Langer in the days leading up to the contract discussions. Cummins will lead the squad later this month to Pakistan for a three-test series starting March 4 at Rawalpindi.
