Why was Usman Khawaja not allowed to open the batting for Australia in their first innings against England?
He was off the field for more than eight minutes during England’s inningsUsman Khawaja was absent from the field for over eight minutes during England’s innings and did not make up the lost time before England’s innings ended. According to ICC playing conditions, a fielder must spend an equivalent amount of time off the field back on the field before being permitted to bat. As a result, Khawaja was ineligible to open and Marnus Labuschagne had to step up. This unusual situation also forced Steve Smith to bat at No. 3 after Jake Weatherald was dismissed early. Khawaja’s absence significantly disrupted Australia’s top-order plans.
