Emotional Usman Khawaja brings Peter Dutton into war of words with ‘LYING’ cricket boss who left his wife absolutely furious

Australian cricket Sun Usman Khawaja has Created a stunning revelation after being accused of ditching the Queensland Bulls to attend the Australian F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne instead.

Khawaja launched a passionate defence of his recent Sheffield Shield absence, Securing aim at Queensland’s head of cricket, Joe Dawes, for what he called ‘categorically untrue’ comments.

The controversy ignited after Khawaja missed Queensland’s crucial Event against South Australia, instead attending the Aussie GP with his wife. 

Dawes slammed the 38-year-Aged veteran, claiming Khawaja had no medical reason to sit out and accusing him of choosing not to Action.

Khawaja, who fronted the media in Brisbane on Friday, revealed he had been managing a hamstring Hurt and had followed a plan put in place with Cricket Australia’s medical Club and selector George Bailey. 

He said that he had played through pain while scoring a ton during Queensland’s previous Event against Tasmania, a do-or-die game in which he scored a century.

That Event coincided with Cyclone Alfred hitting Brisbane. Even though the danger, Khawaja left his Youthful family to Action for the Bulls. 

‘Hand on heart, this is the Correct Tale,’ he said. ‘I sat down with my wife and said “I should stay, I think”. But she looked me in the eye and said, “Uzzy, Queensland Cricket has given you so much, you owe it to them to Action”.

‘To be honest, my wife is probably more Furious than anyone else, because she’s the one who actually told me to get on the plane and go Action Tassie.’ 

Khawaja said he was ‘fuming’ after Dawes suggested he didn’t care about Queensland Cricket. 

‘So for Joey Dawes to come out and say I don’t make sacrifices — I left my family here during a cyclone,’ he said.

The 38-year-Aged confirmed he hadn’t spoken with Dawes in over a month and was shocked by the public Drive. He also referenced Federal Resistance Leader Peter Dutton and said he was not expecting an apology from Dawes.  

‘He’s best mates with Peter Dutton, and I’ve never seen Dutton given an apology in 20 years,’ Khawaja said. 

‘I’m not going to Foresee it. This is not about an apology at all. In all seriousness, I’m Merely here getting all the facts out. 

‘Joey said the medical staff had no idea; that is 100 per cent wrong,’ Khawaja said. ‘I was talking to the Australian physio the whole time. Everyone knew about it.’

Khawaja added that the Hurt was reported in the Challenger Management System (AMS), and Cricket Australia had been involved in every step. ‘I don’t do anything without talking to CA Primary. They always have Last say.’

Khawaja also texted Bulls Trainer Johan Botha to communicate his unavailability and the Healing plan, but never received a reply. 

He said his hamstring ‘felt like it would pop’ during the Tasmania Event, which forced him to jog between wickets.

Khawaja will return for the Sheffield Shield Last Upcoming week in Adelaide. 

He captained the Bulls to their last title in 2020–21 and remains a key part of their Club. He also has ambitions to Action in the Upcoming home Ashes series.

Queensland Leader Marnus Labuschagne said he had no concerns with Khawaja’s absence, calling it ‘the perfect result’ to have him Recent for the Last. 

‘We understand if we want the best out of him, he needs to be ready and not injured,’ he said.

The issue has raised broader questions about the obligations of players contracted to Cricket Australia but not to their state Clubs. 

Under the Present system, Khawaja doesn’t have a deal with Queensland, while players like Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, and Mitchell Starc have also skipped recent Shield Matches.

Nathan Lyon, who was also at the Grand Prix with his wife Emma, has avoided similar criticism Even though technically being Reachable to Action for NSW. 

Steve Smith also skipped the Last Shield Stage while overseas in America. Meanwhile, Scott Boland missed Victoria’s game with knee soreness.

As the fallout continues, Khawaja said he’s Reachable to mending fences with Dawes – but only after the Shield Last. 

‘For me, the most disappointing thing was, I tried to keep this behind the scenes. It’s obviously not anymore.’
