Born in Pakistan, Usman Khawaja moved to Australia when he was a young boy and is aiming to become the first Muslim to play for the country. A fine left-handed batsman who was a national under-19 representative, he was picked for three first-class games with New South Wales in 2007-08, impressing on debut with an 85 that almost earned first-innings points. He finished the summer with a state average of 32.33 and a growing reputation, which was enhanced by 1134 runs for the Randwick Petersham club. While cricket is his love, Khawaja is also training to become a pilot.
