‘We won’t get to play again after this…..’ – Usman Khawaja opens on his emotions for David Warner

Australia’s star opener, Usman Khawaja, heaps praise on his teammate David Warner, who is playing his farewell Test against Pakistan at the iconic Sydney Cricket Stadium. Notably, David Warner who has already announced his retirement from ODI cricket, will retire after playing the ongoing Test series of red-ball games.

Usman Khawaja heaped praise on David Warner and said that he has batted extremely well in the ongoing Test series. Notably, the Delhi Capitals batter played a magnificent knock in the first Test game and guided his side to win the game in Perth. Moreover, Warner played a crucial knock in the second Test as well, which helped them with the Test series against the Pakistani team.

“This series he’s batted beautifully. He just got a ripper of a ball today, which you just have to cop sometimes. For a long period there, he was in people’s faces and doing stuff. But that wasn’t always Davey. He was also getting told to play a certain way, by the coaching staff, and by people around certain points. He’s such a team player,” Usman Khawaja said being quoted by Perth Now.

It’s really good to watch that people are getting around David Warner: Usman Khawaja

Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja also opened up about his emotions as David Warner is playing his last Test game with him against Shan Masood-led Pakistan. The Islamabad-born cricketer feels David Warner deserves every bit of respect for his brilliant Test career, which makes him so unique. Moreover, the left-handed batter is hopeful that he will get the chance to be with Warner, either in the game or in commentary.

“It’s really good to watch that people are getting around him because I believe he deserves it, I do. We won’t get to play again after this. It’ll definitely be sad. Even talking about it right now, I think about the journey that we’ve been on and it gets quite emotional. Hopefully, we’ve got a lot more time spending together, on the golf course or commentating or whatever it might be,” he added further.
