Khawaja Set to Battle Despite Injury in Sheffield Shield Final

Khawaja is set to play for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield final despite injury, while Knott replaces Gardner in the T20 team.

Usman Khawaja is ready to take the field for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield final against South Australia, despite nursing a hamstring niggle. After missing the previous match to ensure his fitness, Khawaja is determined to push through the discomfort at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide from March 26-30. He noted a communication breakdown with Queensland Cricket officials but is now fully prepared to contribute to his team`s success in this crucial match. The final will be broadcast live on Foxtel, Kayo Sports, cricket.com.au, and the CA Live app.

In other Australian cricket news, Charli Knott has been named as a replacement for the injured Ashleigh Gardner in the T20 women`s team. Knott`s impressive performances in the Women’s Cricket League have earned her a spot on the squad, and she will join the team in New Zealand for the remainder of their tour. Meanwhile, Georgia Voll, who played a pivotal role in Australia`s historic Ashes whitewash, is excited about her future prospects, including the possibility of opening for the national team.
