It is widely claimed that in place of the swashbuckling Aussie batter, another Australian batter, Usman Khawaja can join the Rawalpindi Pindiz. With a wide range of experiences in the top level of the game, Khawaja can be a good replacement for the team. If Khawaja comes on board, then he can help the team with his leadership qualities as well.
The 23-year-old is a proven T20 batter, and an exciting talent who can be a prospect for any team across the globe. Pakistan cricket fans were eagerly waiting for a batter like him to play in this year's league.
Official announcement regarding Jake Fraser-McGurk's withdrawal came a day ago
After a while, the post was removed from the team's official social media accounts, but the proof remains, as many followers shared or reposted the information. Later, the franchise owner himself wished the batter good luck for the upcoming days.
Why signing Usman Khawaja can be a brilliant move by Rawalpindi Pindiz?
Jake Fraser-McGurk was unsold and failed to attract a buyer at the PSL’s inaugural player auction. Later, the franchise signed him directly. The upcoming PSL season, scheduled to run from March 26 to May 3, will feature eight teams, including two new entrants—Rawalpindi and Hyderabad Kingsmen. This time, the tournament will host 44 matches in 39 days.
PC: Twitter/XUsman Khawaja, who is originally from Pakistan, has previously played for the league with the Islamabad United. During the 2020-21 PSL season, the batter played 7 matches for Islamabad and scored 246 runs in total with a batting average of over 49 and a strike rate of 152.79. If he can do the same with Rawalpindi, then the absence of Jake Fraser-McGurk will not bother the team in any way.
