Best Test XI of 2022
Usman Khawaja (Australia)
Usman Khawaja’s second coming has been an inspiring tale of redemption. Dropped midway through the 2019 Ashes, it almost seemed like a stop-start Test career had come to a close.
However, a dream return came about at 35: he began with twin Ashes centuries in Sydney and has continued to pile on big runs since. Scores of 97, 160, 44*, 91, and 104* in Pakistan saw him break into the rankings top 10.
The Australian opener had scored 1079 runs in 2022 in 10 Tests averaging an impressive 71.93 including 4 tons and 5 fifties-his most in a calendar year. He is in the best Test XI of 2022.
