(Source: AP)Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey has come out in support of Usman Khawaja after the left-handed batsman continued his disappointing run in the first Test against Bangladesh. Talking about his ability, Hussey went on to say that Khawaja is a “quality” player and needs backing at this stage of his career to get fruitful results. “I know there’s going to be doubters out there but (Khawaja is) a quality player. I think Usman Khawaja is in the same boat: we know he’s a good player, we know he’s got class, (so) just show that belief and faith in him and he will repay it in spades, I promise you,” Hussey added. It may be recalled here that Australia lost the first Test match by 20 runs after failing to chase a target of 265 runs.
