'I think we can take it too far in Australia...' - Usman Khawaja lashes out at England crowd for abusing Aussie batter Travis Head

The veteran Australian batter Usman Khawaja has continuously attracted controversial headlines during the ongoing Ashes 2023 against England in England. He has been on the front cover of some storylines that were probably not considered a part of the gentlemen’s game by some of the experts of the game.

A serious controversy sparked and also involved the former Australian cricketers when the England pacer Ollie Robinson gave an unpleasant send-off to Khawaja after dismissing him. Although Khawaja had already done the damage for England by then as he scored a steady century to stabilise Australia.

Meanwhile, Khwaja lashed out at the England crowd for their poor behaviour and misconduct with the Australian cricketers. He recalled their attitude towards his teammate and star Aussie batter, Travis Head.

“Personally, if I am coming to the cricket and watching the cricket, I wouldn't want my kids to be around that. If I saw that I would 100 per cent make a complaint or just leave,” said Khawaja to the Sydney Morning Herald.

“I think some of the stuff can be pretty poor. Over at Edgbaston, they were calling Travis Head a c... you know what. I'm like I can't believe you can actually say that in a public domain anywhere,” he added.

Later, the 36-year-old also warned England that similar sorts of things can happen when they’ll travel to Australia in the future. Additionally, he said that Aussies could take it too far while giving back to England what they are doing in the ongoing Ashes 2023 in their own backyard.

“If you talk about it to England guys, they say we are equally as rough when . I don't agree with it either way. I don't think it's the right thing to do. It can be a little disappointing at times, and I think we can take it too far in Australia. I'm not a big fan of it. I know watching a lot of sports and loving sports that it happens around the world,” said Khawaja.

“You watch the NBA it happens there. Particularly when crowds can get really close to you, which they can in cricket. It is what it is, I don't agree with it,” he added.
