Usman Khawaja made a stunning comeback to Australia's side with two back-to-back centuries against England in the 4th Ashes Test at Sydney Cricket Ground.

Khawaja lost his place on the Australian side in 2019 and was subsequently removed from Cricket Australia's central contract in 2020. Many cricket pundits had written off the southpaw but Khawaja made it into the Australian side for the Ashes Series on the back of good domestic performances.

Finally, Khawaja got a place in Australian XI after Head was tested Covid-19 positive and capitalised on the opportunity and became the 6th Aussie to score back to back hundreds.
