Usman Khawaja has shared valuable advice with his new opening partner Nathan McSweeney ahead of the Border Gavaskar Test series. Khawaja believes McSweeney doesn’t need to change his approach to succeed in Test cricket. “Nathan doesn’t have to do anything different,” Khawaja said. “He’s obviously been able to handle the pressure at (Sheffield) Shield level and score runs consistently” ¹.
Khawaja’s advice is rooted in his own experience and understanding of the game. He emphasized the importance of absorbing pressure and batting time, traits he believes McSweeney possesses. Khawaja also praised the selectors for having an “eye to the future” with McSweeney’s selection, given his relatively young age of 25 ¹.
