It will be a spit on everyone&#8217;s face if that happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget about form- that is a totally different issue in the past couple of years but his professionalism and conduct as a cricketer has been &#8216;unacceptable&#8217;. I sometimes wonder whether this man is riling up people intentionally just cause of his close links with the current Aussie PM and thinks he&#8217;s entitled to say and whatever he wants despite having a CA central contract and get away with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the 1st test playing three days of golf, getting injured during the important 1st Ashes test and then did the most stupid and unthinkable thing which is unforgivable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throwing the debutant and teammate high and dry by letting him face the new ball first up and not being there to open alongside him. Posting a golf course selfie on instagram post the win. Not taking any accountability for your actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then did the worst and most pathetic act which sums up what a shameless individual he is. Calling the Perth pitch a piece of Shit despite the ICC match referee giving it a very good rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sums up everything to say about Khawaja. A self entitled narcissist who proclaims himself as the &#8216;People&#8217;s Champ&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is Golf- Palestine-Politics-Cricket in that order for this man. Such a shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TUnlimitedd\/status\/1995862000174596450\/photo\/1\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usman Khawaja has lost the plot completely the past few months and I genuinely hope we&#8217;ve seen the last of him in Australian colours. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":243098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,14934],"tags":[14935,17241],"class_list":["post-327577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-cricket","tag-cricket-australia","tag-usman-khawaja"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=327577"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":327578,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327577\/revisions\/327578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/243098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=327577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=327577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=327577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
