Usman Khawaja, a key figure in Australian cricket, has confirmed his readiness to participate in the upcoming third Ashes test against England, dispelling concerns over his fitness.

The veteran left-hander, who will soon turn 39, is determined to continue his cricketing career for as long as his contributions are appreciated by the team.

Despite a recent back injury that kept him out of the pink-ball test and the inaugural innings against England in Perth, Khawaja remains undeterred and focused on the challenge ahead. Meanwhile, fellow players Travis Head and Jake Weatherald have proven themselves at the top of the order, adding to the strong Australian lineup.
