Usman Khawaja has been battling with a hamstring injury for the last few weeks. Ever since he returned from the Sri Lanka tour, he has been struggling with his hamstring and ankle. Some reports claimed that the batter was scheduled to play the match with the team in the race for the final.
Khawaja recently posted a video then in which he claimed that he was privately working to rehabilitate his hamstring, but his withdrawal from the match still has many confused.
Our medical staff said all the way through he has been available for selection - Queensland Cricket boss Joe Dawes on Usman Khawaja
"Our medical staff said all the way through he has been available for selection. That is my understanding from Cricket Australia staff as well - no hamstring issues as far as we are concerned. I go off our medical staff and there is no reason why he could not have played the last game.
Hopefully, he will make that decision to make himself available for next week - Joe Dawes
Joe Dawes further mentioned that it was a decision of Usman Khawaja and they are hopeful that he will make himself available for the next game. Speaking about the same, he said:
Khawaja looked in great touch with the bat in the Sri Lanka series. If he plays in the next game of the Shield, it will be a great opportunity for him to play in the final of the ICC World Test Championship final, which will be played between Australia and South Africa.
