The Ashes 5th Test: Usman Khawaja to open for Australia, Marcus Harris dropped, bowling attack to be finalised

The Ashes, 5th Test: Australia captain Pat Cummins said that the hosts have decided to let Usman Khawaja open the batting with David Warner, thus allowing them to fit the in-form Travis Head in the middle order.

Usman Khawaja will open for Australia in the fifth Ashes test in Hobart against England in place of the dropped Marcus Harris, captain Pat Cummins said on Thursday.

Khawaja, who replaced Travis Head in the middle order in the fourth test, scored back-to-back centuries at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a stunning return after more than two years out of the test side.
