Usman Khawaja looks to cement place in ODI squad

The Test regular says he would look to make an immediate mark should he make the final XI for the second ODI.

David Warner’s paternity leave has opened the ODI doors for Usman Khawaja after nearly three years .

The Test regular says he would look to make an immediate mark should he make the final XI for the second ODI here on Friday.

“I am not sure whether I will be picked in the final XI but it is always nice to be picked or selected in the squad because this is like getting rewarded for good work,” he said. “I am just using my common sense, since David is not there, I am expecting to play,” he added. Asked if being ignored for the shorter format hurt him given his reasonably good showing in the Tests, Khawaja said the disappointment was obvious but he has not let that get in the way of his performances.
