Ive had a lot of fun playing here - Khawaja

2 Aug 2018 | Cricket
Overseas signing Usman Khawaja will make his final appearance for Glamorgan on Friday against Gloucestershire after being called up by Australia to attend a training camp, but will leave Wales with \'fond memories.\'

The Australian was initially signed to play alongside fellow Australian Shaun Marsh as the two overseas players for the Vitality Blast, but scored a county record three Championship centuries in his first three games after Marsh was called up to the Australian ODI squad.

"I've got a training camp before the Australia A series (in India) so it's disappointing to be leaving slightly earlier," said Khawaja.

"I've had a lot of fun playing here, the guys have been really welcoming, all the way from the club, the supporters, and Cardiff city, so I'll look back with fond memories."

After his four-day exploits, Khawaja has scored 148 runs at an average of 28 and a strike-rate of 146 in the Vitality Blast.

"I would like to have gone on with a few of them, I've had some positive quick starts and haven't been able to go on but that's the nature of the game. It would have been nice to be here for the whole tournament, but hopefully I can have a good performance in this last game and the team will keep going," he added.
