Sydney: <\/strong>Out of favour, Australian Test batsman Usman Khwaja is mulling a move to Queensland after telling Bulls players he wants to move north.<\/p>\n

It’s thought that a combination of cricket and personal factors may be the trigger for Khawaja’s potential career switch away from New South Wales (NSW).<\/p>\n

It would be another great deal for Queensland’s Sheffield Shield-winning coach Darren Lehmann after Peter Forrest too moved from NSW to Queensland.<\/p>\n

The left-hander, who was struggling to get a game for NSW, has played 11 one-day internationals since moving to Brisbane last season.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Khawaja’s career has gone backwards since he was axed after playing the last of his six Tests last December.<\/p>\n

Pakistan-born Khawaja had become Australia’s first Muslim cricketer but he averaged just 23 in first-class cricket last summer.<\/p>\n

A move north could be just the tonic to re-invent Khawaja’s career and give him fresh focus outside of some of the issues that have been weighing him down in Sydney. (IANS)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
