There is another option to drop opener Marcus Harris and instead play Khawaja. “Talking to George Bailey and the selectors about continuity, I’m not totally against that process, either. Throughout my career a lot of changes were made, and I was on the wrong side of them a few times,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Khawaja as sayinf.
