Australia is weighing significant squad changes after a heavy defeat, and key players like Usman Khawaja are publicly debating team composition ahead of the final Test against South Africa.
Usman Khawaja has urged Australia to consider left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann for the final Test against South Africa, citing the hosts’ right-handed batting lineup. Australia lost the previous match by an innings and 31 runs after omitting Nathan Lyon. Khawaja also suggested moving Nic Maddinson to the middle order as selectors consider batting changes and Cam Green’s return from injury.
