Usman Khawaja is facing visa issues that have the potential to keep him in Australia as his teammates are arriving in India for this month’s Test tour
The classy left-hander was not due to train with teammates in Bangalore on Thursday, regardless, and the team’s hierarchy is not concerned the delay will affect his preparation.
On that occasion, Khawaja took to social media to vent his frustration he had not been permitted to enter the country because he was not born in Australia. A CA official told AAP the governing body was aware of the situation and was hopeful Khawaja would be approved for entry into India imminently. He toured with the Test team in 2013, when he was part of the infamous homework-gate scandal with teammates James Pattinson, Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson.
