Usman Khawaja ‍said he hoped his long test career, which will come to an end with his retirement after the ​fifth Ashes clash, inspires youngsters who are “different” that playing cricket for Australia is ‌possible.


The top order batsman, who turned 39 last month, announced on Friday (January 2, 2026) that ​he would be retiring from international cricket after his 88th test, which will start at Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday (January 4, 2026).
