England the toughest place in the world to bat for top-three batters: Usman Khawaja

Australia opener Usman Khawaja believes England's pitches are the ultimate test for top-three batters and the only way to train for the conditions there is to work really hard and have very low expectations.

Khawaja has struggled in English conditions, averaging just 19.66 from six Tests, which is a below-average showing from him given that he has scored an amazing 1,608 runs at 69.91 in 16 Tests since he was recalled to the Test side in January last year.

The 36-year-old is expected to be in the thick of things during the World Test Championship final against India and the subsequent five-Test Ashes series in England.
