McSweeney has his own game: Usman Khawaja

'Opening is as much about scoring runs'

Veteran Australian opener Usman Khawaja backed his new opening partner Nathan McSweeney, urging him to play his own game against India in Perth rather than trying to ape David Warner, who was a "special player" in his own right.

Khawaja, a veteran of 73 Tests with nearly five and a half thousand runs and 15 tons, also believed that needing to score runs at a quick clip is nothing but an urban myth, and advised McSweeney to just "repeat the process" which has worked for him till date.
