Veteran Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has announced his retirement from international cricket, with the upcoming fifth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground marking his final match. The 39-year-old, who is the first Muslim and Pakistan-born player to represent Australia in Test cricket, reflected on his 15-year career. Khawaja also used his announcement to address perceived racial stereotyping and criticism he faced, particularly regarding his preparation and commitment, stating he felt treated differently due to his background.
