A little more than a month after the furious row about race and sportsmanship exploded at the Sydney Test match, one young cricketer is ready to step up from the grade ranks and step out on to the SCG. Meet Usman Khawaja, 21, born in Islamabad, believed to be the first Australian Muslim to play interstate cricket and all set to fly the flag for a new generation of cricketers Down Under. The Sydney Morning Herald caught up with this "very" ambitious player.
Even Peter Roebuck had something to say about him.
