Delhi: Australian cricket team veteran opener batsman Usman Khwaja seems to be getting caught in a new problem. Recently, he decided to watch the F1 race with his wife Rechal, staying out of a match of the Sheffield Shield competition. Khwaja is part of the Queensland team, but in this match he described the reason for his absence, the problem of Hamstring.

However, Queensland's Head of Elite Cricket, who does not agree with Daves, this claim. He said, “Our medical staff and Cricket Australia's medical team believe that Khwaja was fully fit and capable of playing.

He had no concrete reason to stay out of the match, which makes this decision disappointing.”

Queensland cricket officials have expressed disappointment over Khwaja's decision. He said, “We have many players who are willing to play for Queensland. It is disappointing that Khwaja made the reason not to play the match public. We hope that he will be available for the finals.”

The controversy over Khwaja's decision has also increased because Nathan Lyon was also present in the same F1 race, but no question was raised on his decision.

Lyon had decided to stay away from domestic cricket citing workload management, while Khwaja has to face criticism for not playing just one match.

Will Khwaja play in WTC final?

The rear tour of the left hand opener was excellent. Although his performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India was average, Cricket Australia has maintained confidence in him. It is expected that he will be seen playing for Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship against South Africa in June and will play an important role in his team's victory.
