Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has targeted technical mistakes in the Ashes series against the batting of Kangaroo batsman Usman Khawaja. Ponting feels that while facing off-spin bowlers, Khawaja's batting looks like technical flaws.
On Friday, Khawaja had come to bat at number three in the first Test match between England and Australia in Gabba and he seemed unable to face England bowler Moin Ali, due to which he was dismissed by 11 runs.
Ponting said that while facing off-spin bowling Khawaja's batting clearly lacks. However, the former Australian captain said that Khwaja is a good player as a player.
"There is no doubt that there are technological flaws in their batting somewhere. I think he can be coached in this regard. It can be done to improve their shortcomings, because they can not face off-spin bowlers for long and they are out. "
Ponting said, "I love Khwaja as a player. There are only technical flaws in his batting, which needs improvement. "
