Australia cricket team’s star opener Usman Khawaja (Usman Khawaja) by Steve Smith (Steve Smith) has shared his views on the news of possibly replacing David Warner in the Test team.

Usman Khawaja believes that it is not a good idea to disturb the set batting position of Steve Smith and play him as an opener in the batting lineup of Australia Test team.

The veteran opener stressed that while many top-order batsmen may have the ability to open, it would be foolish to remove Steve Smith from his No. 4 position, where he has performed best so far.

This is a specialist batting position: Usman Khawaja

Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au, “I agree it is a specialist batting position, but whoever can bat in the top four can open. But I wouldn’t want to sacrifice someone who in my opinion is the second greatest Test batsman in the position he has been batting in for so long. The specialty of Steve Smith is that he is a beautiful number 4 batsman. He can bat against fast bowlers. He is a really good batsman against spin as well.”
