Australia opener David Warner posted a heartfelt note for his childhood friend and teammate Usman Khawaja after his double century in a comeback match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. Khawaja played his first Test match for Australia since August 2019, after Travis Head was tested positive for COVID-19.
Khawaja has joined just five other Australian batsmen to score twin tons in an Ashes Test.
Warner posted a note for his teammate and said that he could not be more proud of Khawaja’s return and recalled his journey from cricket brothers till now as a father.
“Childhood brothers, now father and I couldn’t be more prouder of @usman_khawajy comeback. We started throwing the ball against a wall at Waverly Oval watching our brothers play cricket. We grew up playing the game together and against, but are now back on the same team living our dreams together as fathers. This is what dreams are made of, share it with your family and close friends. #brothersforlife #cricket #bond,” Warner posted on Instagram.
The southpaw scored 137 runs in the first innings and scored an unbeaten 101 in the second innings to make the best comeback in Test cricket history.
Warner also posted a note on Khawaja after his first innings century at the SCG.
“Can’t be proud of you now bro. That was all class!! @usman_khawajy @dscfearless,” he wrote.
