Usman Khawaja was cleared of having sustained a fractured jaw after being hit on the head by an West Indian player during a match, though initial concerns may still exist due to further examinations and possible impacting participation in further tests. A scan and concussion tests helped ease those concerns but further examination could affect his participation in subsequent test matches.
Usman Khawaja, an Australian footballer, was cleared from fractured cheekbone after suffering severe head trauma against West Indies during a match. Following being scanned, Khawaja passed his concussion test successfully easing initial concerns; medical personnel will continue monitoring for symptoms of delayed concussion for 24 hours after that reevaluation is conducted.
If Khawaja is diagnosed with concussion, he could miss the second Test starting January 25th which starts against Australia and begins when Marnus Labouschagne had to retire due to injury; when that happened against Australia Matthew Renshaw will most likely replace him; otherwise either Bancroft or Harris might step in as replacements.
Khawaja’s absence could prove costly to Australia’s top four players, particularly if Steve Smith adapts well to opening batsman duties. Renshaw enjoys cricket immensely and hopes he is selected into David Warner’s Test team.
