No guarantees in cricket: Khawaja’s advice to opening partner McSweeny
“There’re no guarantees in cricket...but he doesn't have to do anything different,” Khawaja said.
Left-handed Australia batsman Usman Khawaja has now sent a message in view of the coronavirus pandemic which has brought the entire world to a standstill. The virus has already claimed over 9,800 lives while over 2,50,000 thousand remain infected with the dreaded virus.
Khawaja took to the microblogging website Twitter to share a crucial message for the masses and asked them to take the health threat seriously. He highlighted what people should do and what they should avoid given the circumstances.
“Just because mortality rate for many isn’t high, doesn’t mean you should have a blasé attitude. It’s our responsibility as society to think about the elderly and the social and economical cost this will have on so many lives. We all need to do out part, ” Khawaja tweeted.
