Usman Khawaja, the Australian test opener, has publicly responded to accusations from Queensland Cricket's Joe Dawes, who claimed Khawaja made himself unavailable for a Sheffield Shield match due to a supposed lack of injury. Khawaja clarified that he was managing a hamstring strain, which he had reported through an app used by professional cricketers in Australia. He expressed disappointment over Dawes' statements and emphasized that the medical staff was aware of his condition. Khawaja also mentioned he is not seeking an apology and holds no grudges, influenced by his Islamic faith during Ramadan.
