Australia Batter Sparks Controversy For Allegedly Faking Injury To Attend F1 Race
Australian opener Usman Khawaja has stirred controversy for allegedly faking an injury and attending an F1 Grand Prix race in Melbourne on weekend. As per the claim, the southpaw missed Queensland's Sheffield Shield match due to a reported hamstring injury but attended the Australian Grand Prix. However, according to Queensland's Head of Elite Cricket Joe Dawes, there was no injury to the player. Dawes also expressed 'disappointment' for the fact that Khawaja didn't show up for the match vs South Australia, that took place between March 15 to 18.
