Usman Khawaja has slowly and steadily made a place in the first team for Australia. The 30-year-old revealed that he was racially abused so much growing up in Sydney that he led to support other countries rather than the national side. Khawaja insisted that he was brought up to be humble and polite, but he found Australian players to be hard-nosed, confident, almost brutish. By High School, I was a diehard Australian team supporter.
