Usman Khawaja is the latest addition to Fox Cricket’s commentary team, with the Australian opener set to pursue a career in media after he decides to hang up the boots.
The 36-year-old, who was the leading run-scorer of the recent Ashes series in England, announced on Monday morning that he will join Fox Cricket commentary team in a full-time role following his retirement.
Khawaja will provide analysis on Fox Cricket during the upcoming Cricket World Cup in India, also making commentary appearances throughout the 2023/24 home summer.
He joins opener partner David Warner, the most recent addition to Fox Cricket’s commentary, who will take on a full-time role with the microphone after his retirement.
“I‘ve always enjoyed Fox Cricket’s coverage. Fox Sports was the first thing I’d put on in the morning as a kid, so the affiliation with the company was a bit more sentimental for me.
Sure thing mate
Fox Cricket’s hosting team for the World Cup also includes former Australian cricketers Brendon Julian, Mark Waugh, Kerry O’Keeffe and Brad Haddin, while Michael Vaughan, Ravi Shastri, Wasim Akram, Harsha Bhogle and Ian Smith will provide analysis from the subcontinent.
