Australia v England - Fifth Test: Day 3
Khawaja has become an important part of this Australia side

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the Australian Test side over the last couple of years, and at times, it has got in the way of their cricket. In particular, the sandpaper gate involving David Warner and Steve Smith has led to both being banned for a year and has almost distracted from the quality of some of the batsmen in the side, in particular, Khawaja.

The left-hander made his debut for Australia in 2011, and despite being in and out of the team initially, he has become an important player for the team in recent times and will be vital in the upcoming series against India.

Having failed to make a hundred in his first nine Test matches, Khawaja now has six Test hundreds to his name. He has really nailed down a spot in the side over the last couple of years and will hope to keep it for the foreseeable future.
